After regaining inter-league representative Jake Thrum following the announcement of Geelong's absence from the VFL in 2020, the Dogs have also regained two more one point players in Tom Toma and Paul Symons.

Toma couldn't have been more impressive in his first stint with the Bulldogs, winnning two club best and fairest awards in 2015 and 2017.

He returned to his junior club Cohuna Kangas for the 2018 and 2019 seasons, but the Central Murray Football League's decision to pull the pin on its 2020 season because of COVID-19 restrictions has opened the door for the classy midfielder/forward to return to Wade Street.

Toma averaged more than one goal per game in his previous senior career with the Dogs.

Wingman Symons has also returned to the Bulldogs from the Geelong Football League.

Toma and Symons add to a Square midfield group that hasn't had this much depth since the club's golden era from 2009-2013.

Meanwhile, in other player transfer news, Bridgewater recruit Boden Alexander has signed with Central Highlands Football League club Hepburn.

Alexander was one of Bridgewater's premier signings late last year, but the recent cancellation of the LVFNL season gave the experienced midfielder the option to look elsewhere for 2020.

Hepburn swooped on the former playing-coach of the Mallee Eagles and multiple Central Murray inter-league representative.
