AFL: Western Bulldogs coach Luke Beveridge fired back at a reporter after being questioned on Marcus Bontempelli's form during the Hawks clash.
As some ponder a move elsewhere, others are praying for another season at the top level - desperate to prove themselves an asset in the senior side .
Below is an analysis on every out of contract player at Whitten Oval heading into the 2025 season, including a word for a contracted duo who may be forced to look towards a rival club for the game time they desire.

Geelong were at ultra-short odds to be named his preferred destination of choice, but Hawthorn and Collingwood had also been linked much earlier in the year for his services.
Both Duryea and Khamis are both yet to sign on at the Bulldogs for 2025 Interestingly, Khamis is still out of contract despite playing 17 games this season for Luke Beveridge’s side. A utility who can be swung both forward and down back, the 24-year-old has plenty of upside and would be a welcome asset to anyone who came knocking. Having signed a one-year deal in October last year – historically a very late time to put pen to paper – it looks like a similar scenario looming here.
Is there a world where all of Jack Macrae, Caleb Daniel and Bailey Smith leave the Dogs this off-season? The 2020 All-Australian played 16 senior matches this season; his lowest tally since his 2015 rookie season. Prior to this season, the 28-year-old had never started as the substitute — but he played the cameo role seven times this year as Beveridge’s match committee sought a different direction with eyes to the future.
