After a year of mid-season walk-outs, narrow losses and off-field dramas, 2019 is all about rebuilding for the Bulldogs.

The Bulldogs will hope to bring the same discipline as they had last year into the 2019 season. The side ranked as the most disciplined team in the competition with the least penalties conceded (166), and they topped the charts for their discipline with ball in hand, posting a set competition rate of 80%.
