Bio
Selected as a 19-year-old with pick 61 in the 2021 National Draft, Luke Cleary arrived at the Western Bulldogs after initially being overlooked by recruiters in his draft year. A composed defender known for his intercept marking and precise disposal by foot, he developed his craft with the Sandringham Dragons before earning his shot at the elite level. His time at the Kennel was defined by persistence; after offering glimpses of his potential during his debut 2022 season, he spent significant periods plying his trade in the VFL as he worked to bridge the gap to senior football. While he struggled to command a permanent spot in the Bulldogs' best 22 throughout his tenure, Cleary provided reliable depth across half-back, stepping up to offer defensive cover and efficient ball movement when called upon.
