Trent Bianco has been selected in the Smithy’s VFL State Team for this weekend’s AAMI State Game against the SANFL.

He is the only Bulldogs’ representative in the 23-player side.

Since crossing to the Kennel, Bianco has been a consistent performer across the first two weeks of Footscray’s VFL season – averaging 22 disposals, five marks and three tackles.

The team features many of the best VFL-listed players, with AFL-listed players and rookies not eligible to be selected.

Box Hill Hawks coach Zane Littlejohn will coach, with Steve Daniel (Southport), Ben Hudson (Brisbane Lions) and Adam Skrobalak (Port Melbourne) to serve as assistants.

The full team can be viewed below.

Alot of Bulldog presence though with roarke Smith and lachie young getting a game and Callum porter as emergency.

Every chance Robbie McComb would have been picked if he wasn't injured either.

SANFL should win this in a canter though. Not only is there more money in that league, but the Victorian teams with more SSP spots hoover up and player or two that was intending to play VFL - see Lachie Sullivan among the three players signed by Collingwood
 

Footscray has submitted its round three team to face Essendon VFL on Friday afternoon.

Captain Josh Chatfield (knee) and AFL draftee Lachie Smith (knee) will both miss through injury, while James O’Donnell has been elevated to the senior side.

Connor Smith has also made way, with Tristan Maple (23rd player) joining trio Caleb Daniel, Ryan Gardner and Caleb Poulter in the line-up.
Daniel has also been named an emergency for the AFL clash, as have Rory Lobb and Riley Garcia.

The match is also set to mark coach Stewart Edge’s 50th at the helm.

The first bounce will be 4.05pm at Marvel Stadium, acting as a curtain-raiser at Marvel Stadium to the later AFL match from 7.40pm.

Please note: fans looking to attend the VFL must hold a valid ticket to the AFL game.

Gate 5 will be open from 3.45pm to access.

Limited areas of level one will be open for the VFL game, with patrons to move to either their reserved seats or the general admission area at the conclusion of the match.

The match will also be live-streamed via afl.com.au/vfl/ for those who can’t make it, with game-day updates also available via @FootscrayVFL on X (Twitter).

Looking forward to seeing Croft as the main man up forward.

On paper this is ridiculously strong VFL team.

Caleb picked at CHB......That's exactly what we need in the senior team. Get him back in. Or start wording him up about spending more time in Tasmania
 
That was bullshit, Harmes got pushed on the kick and got a free but instead of paying a downfield free because it was after he kicked it he had to run all the way back down the ground to take it because apparently Cleary wasn't allowed to take it.

Croft looks far too much like Gardiner from where I’m sitting for my liking
