AFL Fantasy 2026 - Western Bulldogs Preview

The boys head to Whitten Oval as we hit the halfway point of the 2026 team previews. The Dogs didn’t make finals in 2025, but they remain one of the most Fantasy friendly sides in the comp, six players averaging 90+ and a stack of mid-price relevance across the board.We break down their 2025 campaign, the impact of injuries to Bont, Treloar & Darcy, the rise of Mr. Utility Matt Kennedy, and why Luke Beveridge continues to drive Fantasy coaches insane.List movement this offseason was light, with the Bulldogs adding Swans Academy defender Lachlan Carmichael and former Sun Connor Budarick, while saying goodbye to Jason Johannisen, Liam Jones and Taylor Duryea through delistings and retirement, and losing Jamarra Ugle-Hagan to a change of scenery.From boom picks like Kennedy & Richards, to breakout candidates in Freijah, Sanders and Budarick, we debate who’s real value, who’s trap bait, and how the new ruck rules affect English’s ceiling heading into 2026.We then wrap with our ladder calls for the dogs, three of us have them in the same spot.
