Laitham Vandermeer

Laitham Vandermeer explored his options, but Western Bulldogs list boss Michael Regan says there were no talks on 14 October. "We look forward to Laitham getting the bit between the teeth and becoming the best version of himself next year."

Zach Butters is a Western Bulldog on a long-term, big-money deal. List boss Michael Regan: "Is this a risk? Yes. Is it a calculated risk? Absolutely." Laitham Vandermeer has drawn no firm inquiries, but the club would assess a fair-value offer if he wants a fresh start.
