‘Isn’t ideal’: Western Bulldogs gun opens up on early season form slump

Bailey Dale is hoping his days as playing the sub are over, having bounced back from being dropped from the starting side earlier in the season.

The Western Bulldogs midfielder opened up on 3AW about his early season form, which led to him starting starting as a sub in Round 5 against Essendon.

“Hopefully I don’t have to do that again any time soon,” Dale said on Wide World of Sports.
