Footscray roots, Bulldogs stars out, United edging NBL glory, EFL Cup

The Western Bulldogs will return to their Footscray roots this week to mark 100 years in the VFL. Midfielder Tom Liberatore says it’ll lift the team for Friday’s clash with Collingwood. The NRL Bulldogs will miss stars Matt Burton and Viliame Kikau for at least a month due to knee injuries, but coach Cameron Ciraldo remains calm. Melbourne United is one win from NBL glory after beating the Illawarra Hawks 83-77 in Game 3, leading the series 2-1. Newcastle United ended a 70-year trophy drought, beating Liverpool 2-1 in the League Cup final at Wembley. 7NEWS Sport Headlines with Nick Markham for March 17, 2025.
