In a remarkable sporting achievement, Western Bulldogs teenager Joel Freijah secured premierships with two different teams over a single weekend in September 2024. Freijah, then 18, first played for the Bulldogs' VFL team in their Grand Final victory over Southport on a Saturday. The following day, he was a member of the club's VFLW side that defeated the Sydney Swans to claim their premiership.
The dual victory made Freijah a part of a unique piece of Australian rules football history, contributing to both the men's and women's senior teams' successes for the same club in the same season. The VFL is the state-level competition for Australian rules football in Victoria.
Freijah, a midfielder, was drafted by the Western Bulldogs with pick No. 45 in the 2023 AFL National Draft. His performance across the two finals highlighted his versatility and stamina, earning praise from coaches and teammates for his contribution to the club's historic weekend.
