Bulldogs to ditch Ballarat game after poor crowd

The Western Bulldogs and AFL have moved the Round 18 Ballarat game against Adelaide to Marvel Stadium in a bid to maximise attendance.

Only 4,814 fans could attend the Bulldogs’ first 2025 game at Mars Stadium against Port Adelaide in Round 8 due to redevelopment works.

The Dogs are keen to make up the Ballarat game, but this Crows clash shapes as a big one.

St Kilda v Sydney and Carlton v Brisbane are already scheduled at Marvel in Round 18.
