Western Bulldogs v Carlton

Naturally hoping for 3 in a row.

Should be entertaining. I don't know why, but I see this as a somewhat even contest.

We can win this. A great test and finally a little hype surrounding one of our games.

The Bulldogs have caused us some trouble in the past. They run and carry the ball very well and fast. However they do turn the ball over often. This is where we need to pounce and make it hurt them on the scoreboard. I feel we might lose this in a close result. I will be very happy if we stay competitive in the important stats of effective tackles and apply maximum pressure from the first bounce, and for the entire 4 quarters.

It's worked so far.

As they say, if you're on to a good thing..............lol!

Easton Wood needs manning up and I have no idea who will and can play on Jake Stringer....

If we play with the same intent and intensity we should get our third win in a row.

The Bulldogs have struggled with their ruck combinations and we should have a clear advantage there.  Our tall forwards will test their defence and our midfield should be at least their equal.

Our defence still has a makeshift feel to it without Jamison.  Despite that, we're getting good run from our small and medium defenders.

Blues by 12 points

It's not what he thinks will happen, it's what he wants to happen. That way he can come on and troll the board with his pro Mick agenda.

No confident with this one... and the Dogs tend to trouble us.

Though, I think it could go to the line. Our tall timber should cover theirs.
