π¨ COACH ANNOUNCEMENT U17.5 SENIOR COLTS| BDFNC π¨
We’re excited to share that Greg “Demps” Dempsey will be part of our 2026 coaching lineup! π
Greg’s footy journey began in the junior development programs at Port Adelaide Football Club, which led to a senior career that included training with the inaugural Port Adelaide AFL squad in 1997. He went on to be part of back-to-back premierships with the Port reserves, before adding more silverware with Salisbury West and North Haven.
Most recently, Demps co-coached our Senior Women’s team to a Grand Final appearance in 2025 and also coached junior boys at Tea Tree Gully in 2024 and 2025.
A wealth of experience, passion, and leadership — we’re thrilled to have him continuing to develop our next generation of Bulldogs!β€οΈπ€π

Over the past five years, Allan has been a familiar face around the Bulldogs, taking on roles such as Assistant Coach (U11s), Team Manager, and First Aider.

Hi All, Really excited to get started! For any parents of the u15s for 2026 please send me a friend request. I will put together a quick messenger group to keep people updated with dates for pre season etc. At this stage looking to start pre season on the 26th of November (couple of weeks away) I know it's an early start but I figure its going to give myself and the boys enough time to get to know each other and work on building a strong team first group.
π Congratulations to our 2025 Award Winners! π
Apologies for no photos and the late post — we had some technical difficulties on the day, but that didn’t stop us celebrating some incredible achievements!
