Luke Beveridge insists the Western Bulldogs can still contend, while dismissing speculation of discontent at the AFL club as “a tale of fiction”. The Bulldogs sit at 2-3 after their disappointing 29-point defeat to Essendon on Friday night. The club has been criticised for perceived mixed messaging, with Beveridge asked whether the Bulldogs were rebuilding on the run or contending. “If it came across as mixed, it wasn’t intended to be mixed,” he said on Tuesday.

“Because rebuilding infers that you’re knocking something down and it’s coming from the ground up, from a new origin, and you just can’t do that. “So what you’re seeing with us at the moment is some experienced players here and there not getting a game due to form or there’s a preference that some guys have just pushed for selection that deserve a game in front of them.
