Western Bulldogs veteran timing his run to AFL finals
The Western Bulldogs remain hopeful injury-plagued veteran Adam Treloar can return if the club qualifies for finals. Coming off a career-best season in 2024 when he was named All-Australian for the first time, the star midfielder has been struck down by persistent calf issues this year. The 32-year-old has managed a career-low of just four games this year, the last against Richmond in round 15. The Bulldogs sit ninth with three home-and-away games left, but should make finals if they go 3-0 in this period. Treloar trained strongly on Thursday but the Bulldogs will be extra careful with him considering the setbacks he has endured. "He is going through his rehab ... we're building again," Bulldogs coach Luke Beveridge said of Treloar. "Hopefully see him play a game within the next three weeks." Helping Treloar's cause is the Footscray VFL team is contending for the premiership, sitting second on the ladder, and should go deep into finals. The former Collingwood and GWS star will almost certainly need to find touch and confidence in the VFL before being risked in a cut-throat final. As he often does, Beveridge told a story about his VAFA days coaching St Bede's Mentone, referencing how an injury-prone veteran managed to play a crucial role in finals. "I said to him (Michael Hazell) just persevere, hang in there, and it might come good," Beveridge said. "I use 'Haze' as an example to Adam to say just hang in there. "You never know what might be at the end of it, just persevere through your rehab." After starting the season hit hard by key injuries only Treloar and dynamic forward Cody Weightman are sidelined from the Bulldogs' best 23. Versatile midfielder James Harmes struggled with illness for three weeks, returned for two VFL appearances, but is back away from the club again. Harmes won't play at any level this weekend as the Bulldogs prepare to play at the MCG on Sunday against Melbourne, who this week sacked coach Simon Goodwin. "In these circumstances, let me publicly congratulate Simon on what he's achieved at the Demons," Beveridge said. "Obviously they got us in '21 (grand final) and after a long period of time to break their (premiership) drought. "I was able to spend some time with Simon in the off-season and get to know him a little bit so we're all feeling for him."

Franklin Harbour oyster harvesting closes due to toxic algal bloom, another area reopens
The state government has closed one of South Australia's biggest oyster growing regions as a toxic algal bloom continues to spread in the state's waters, while another has been reopened. The South Australian Research and Development Institute (SARDI) has activated a "precautionary closure" today on Franklin Harbour in Cowell, around five hours north-west of Adelaide on the Eyre Peninsula. SARDI executive director Mike Steer said it was a "very dynamic situation". "That [decision] was in collaboration with industry ... on the basis of low levels of brevetoxin," Professor Steer said. "That will be monitored through time through the SASQAP [South Australian Shellfish Quality Assurance Program], with weekly monitoring and testing. Meanwhile, Professor Steer said testing enabled Proper Bay, 20 minutes south of Port Lincoln, to be reopened yesterday. "SASQAP testing has shown those oysters and mussels are incredibly safe to eat," he said. Professor Steer said SARDI had been using satellite imagery to track the "dynamic" algal bloom for months. "It's following the circulatory patterns of the ocean," he said. "In Spencer Gulf during this season, in winter, you start to get a clockwise movement of water … and similar in Gulf St Vincent." He said researchers are keeping a close eye on the northern Spencer Gulf to see how its highly saline waters affect the community of algae. South Australia Oyster Growers Association Chair Peter Treloar said Franklin Harbour was "one of the more important oyster growing regions in the state". The area's oyster hatchery has not been affected as it was based on land. Mr Treloar said a key aspect that made the algal bloom challenging for industry was its ever-changing state. The state government announced last week small businesses affected by the algae could receive up to $10,000 while commercial fisheries and aquaculture licence holders could apply for up to $100,000. "If there's any upside at all it's that we now know there's up to $100,000 available for growers impacted by such a thing," Mr Treloar said. Mr Treloar wanted to stress that "the west coast of South Australia is not impacted by the algae". On July 9, SASQAP closed marine harvesting areas in Port Lincoln at Boston Bay, Bickers Island, Lower Eyre and Proper Bay after it detected brevetoxins in the water. At least six oyster farms at Stansbury on SA's Yorke Peninsula were temporarily closed on May 8 when PIRSA detected a waterborne toxin caused by algae in the water, forcing the farms to quarantine up to 10 million oysters.

Adam Treloar sidelined for at least six weeks as scans reveal another serious calf injury
Western Bulldogs midfielder Adam Treloar faces an uphill battle to play much more footy this year after scans revealed another serious calf injury. Treloar was substituted out of Sunday's big win over Richmond after suffering yet another calf issue. 7NEWS chief AFL reporter Mitch Cleary said he will be sidelined for at least six weeks. 'Adam Treloar's scans have revealed a calf strain,' Cleary said on Monday. 'Set to be sidelined for at least the next six weeks. 'Going to be touch-and-go for a H&A return… finals another conversation (if Dogs make it). 'The All-Australian also out of contract for 2026.' The 32-year-old, who became an All-Australian for the first time last year, was playing just his fourth senior match of the season. He missed the first seven games of the year after a pre-season injury, but managed just one match (against Port Adelaide in Round 8) before he was sidelined again. Treloar returned to face the Hawks in Round 13, and played against the Saints the following week before going down once more on Sunday. With nine rounds left in the season, it leaves Treloar's season hanging by a thread. The Bulldogs look likely to make the finals, which will give the veteran more chance to recover but also will leave coach Luke Beveridge with a massive decision on whether to select the injury-prone midfielder. Earlier this month, Beveridge maintained they would continue to pick him when he's fit. 'We're hoping he's got a future beyond this year and that will take care of itself. We'll work through that,' he said. '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.' The Western Bulldogs currently sit in eighth position on the ladder ahead of Friday night's huge clash against Sydney.
