After an unlikely and inspirational 2016 AFL Premiership victory, the Western Bulldogs soon fell back into old habits.
The Doggies have threatened to make a deep finals run several times in the last few seasons, only to come up short time and again. After finishing sixth in 2024 and losing to Hawthorn in the first week of the post-season, Bulldogs fans will want to see their side take a leap forward this year.
What does the season ahead hold for the Sons of the West? Let’s take a look at the latest AFL odds and futures markets for the 2025 campaign.

Best Western Bulldogs bets for AFL 2025 season
Where are the best Western Bulldogs bets in the AFL futures markets that matter?
Click on the tabs below to get more analysis on these markets:
- There is no doubting that the Western Bulldogs have a talented list; the question is whether they have that little something extra that separates a title-winning team from the rest. Nevertheless, there will be plenty of takers for their pre-season premiership odds of $13 at BetOnline.
- Despite finishing sixth last year, the Dogs are outside the top eight in the market to finish in the finals places in 2025. Online bookmakers are paying $2.10 for Luke Beveridge’s side to make the eight, and that is far from the worst bet out there.
- Many were surprised that Marcus Bontempelli polled only 19 Brownlow Medal votes in 2024, and that might mean the umpires are a little more generous with him this year. This guy is an out-and-out superstar and should be in the mix no matter how the Dogs perform. At $13 with BetOnline, there is a bit of value about ‘the Bont’.

Bulldogs players to watch in 2025
Matthew Kennedy
Born: 6/4/1997
Games: 118
Goals: 57
Position: Midfielder
The Bulldogs lost some talented and experienced players in the last trade window, but the inclusion of Matthew Kennedy shapes as a good one. Having struggled for regular gametime in Carlton’s stacked midfield, the former Giant adds another big body to the engine room for the Dogs. He is also capable of swinging forward and hitting the scoreboard, adding another layer of versatility to the Bulldogs’ midfield makeup.
Sam Darcy
Born: 19/7/2003
Games: 28
Goals: 41
Position: Forward/Defender
Sam Darcy was right in the mix for the 2024 AFL Rising Star until suspension ruled him out of the running. At 21 years of age and near enough 200cm tall, he has already shown he has the ability to become a genuine star at either end of the ground. It will be interesting to see where he plays the bulk of his footy this year.
Jamarra Ugle-Hagan
Born: 4/04/2002
Games: 67
Goals: 103
Position: Forward
After a career-best season in 2024, Jamarra Ugle-Hagan’s future appears to be hanging in the balance. The young forward has been conspicuous by his absence from pre-season training, and there is heavy speculation that he will not feature in the early rounds of the 2025 AFL season. What sort of contribution Ugle-Hagan makes this year — if any — could have a big impact on how the Dogs go.
