Injury toll sours Western Bulldogs' thumping 79-point win over Richmond as Marcus Bontempelli stars
Marcus Bontempelli has quickly returned to his brilliant best, leading the Western Bulldogs to a 79-point AFL demolition of lowly Richmond. The 21.9 (135) to 8.8 (56) cakewalk on Sunday at Marvel Stadium, coupled with GWS's win over Gold Coast, put the Bulldogs back in the top eight. Their highest score this season also brought an important percentage boost in the jostle for top-eight berths, especially as it follows last week's 72-point win over St Kilda. But the Bulldogs' day out was soured by another calf muscle problem for All-Australian midfielder Adam Treloar, and a late hit to Lachlan McNeil, who appeared to be in pain from a shoulder complaint. Ahead of his contract talks ramping up this week, and his 250th-game on Friday night against Sydney, Bontempelli was best afield against the Tigers. The Bulldogs captain racked up 36 possessions — his highest for the season — and kicked three goals, after a hard tag from Marcus Windhager had restricted him to just 14 disposals last weekend against the Saints. About the only thing Bontempelli did wrong all game was an ill-considered attempt at a high mark late in the final quarter. In his third game since returning to the AFL, Treloar was subbed out before half time. The Bulldogs cited calf tightness. He later cut a dejected figure on the bench in what were sad images. Treloar has managed only four matches this season due to persistent calf troubles. Earlier this month, coach Luke Beveridge said the 32-year-old might only be available for three or four games at a time. Fellow Bulldogs James O'Donnell and McNeil also finished the game sore and on the bench. The Bulldogs led from the start and kept Richmond goalless from 20 minutes in the first quarter until six minute into the third. A seven-goal second term for the Bulldogs, when key forward Sam Darcy looked ready to kick a bag, killed off the game after the Tigers had been competitive in the first quarter. The Bulldogs kicked the opening goal of each quarter inside the first couple of minutes, setting the scene for their easy win. While Richmond more than doubled their tally with five goals in the final term, the Bulldogs still outscored them for the quarter. Darcy kicked five goals and at the other end, Richmond key forward Tom Lynch led his team's scoring with three. Veteran Richmond defender Nick Vlastuin also impressed, with 28 possessions, while midfielders Ed Richards, Tom Liberatore and Matt Kennedy shone for the Bulldogs.

Star Bulldog to be managed carefully after setbacks
Adam Treloar will return for the Western Bulldogs, but coach Luke Beveridge has warned the star midfielder may now struggle to play every week. A year after earning his first All-Australian jacket, Treloar has endured a frustrating season blighted by calf injuries. The 32-year-old fired with 27 possessions and a goal in the Bulldogs' round-eight smashing of Port Adelaide - his first match since last year's elimination final defeat to Hawthorn. Treloar has been sidelined since that match in Ballarat, recovering from yet another calf setback. But Beveridge has declared him a certain starter for Thursday night's clash with the Hawks at Marvel Stadium. "Adam's a really different proposition for us now, and even for him to get his head around," Beveridge said of Treloar, who is off-contract at season's end. "We believe he probably won't always have continuity with, game after game, and he might not play more than three or four games in a row. "It won't be by design we're managing him to make sure that he needs a rest. "It'll be essentially what he's telling us, how he's recovered from a game, how his training work's been, so it's a very different approach to Adam's career at the moment. "We're hoping he's got a future beyond this year and that will take care of itself. We'll work through that. "He's just such an influential player and an esteemed player over a long period of time, that by and large, week to week, he's probably going to be in our best 22 or 23 so we'll pick him when he's when he's feeling fit and healthy and strong." Star foward Sam Darcy won't join Treloar in facing Hawthorn, but the 21-year-old is expected to return against St Kilda seven days later. Darcy hurt himself in the Bulldogs' previous game against the Saints back in round six. Initial fears were that Darcy had ruptured his ACL and would miss the entire season. But the 21-year-old looks like missing just seven games with an impaction fracture in his left knee. "Once he had some clear direction from our medical staff and had a rehab program in place with our performance crew, he just got to work," Beveridge said. "The thing with Sam is, he's an unbelievable swimmer, and he can ride a bike, so when he can't run, or when he shouldn't run, in the early stages, he's able to tick over the heart rate and get his cardio stuff done. "He doesn't need many strokes to swim the length of a 25-metre pool. "He's really applied himself, and he sets a tremendous example for a really young player."

Fears for popular veteran Adam Treloar's AFL career after injury setbacks: ‘Different proposition'
