Jade Porter, Mitch Cullen, Brady Hammond and Ben Wyborn will lead Kurri in 2018 and their opening game of the season at home against South Newcastle at the Kurri Kurri Sportsground.
The announcement came with families of the starting 17 surprising their loved ones at a special dinner and later joining in the presentation of jerseys.
Renowned for their tough, uncompromising approach the Bulldogs players were clearly moved as their families walked into the room for what they thought was an informal gathering before their opening ground.
Bulldogs family grew by one on Friday with Cullen’s partner Hannah delivering their second child, a girl named Romie Grace.
