The mighty Bullants are the result of a merger between the Bulleen Junior Football Club and the Bulleen Templestowe Junior Football Club back in 1990.
The club lies within the Yarra Junior Football League which is recognised as one of the strongest junior football leagues in Australia.
The Bullants are proud to lay claim to the following VFL/AFL & VFLW/AFLW players being involved in our club during their junior playing days.
