TWO of the Western Bulldogs' elder statesmen - Jason Akermanis and Barry Hall - have clicked off the field and they see no reason why it won't be the same on it.
Along with skipper Brad Johnson, they represent 915 games and 1579 goals. And Akermanis and Hall are adamant all three can successfully co-habitat in the forward 50m.
Coach Rodney Eade expects his veteran trio will each play between 80 and 90 per cent game time.
"It's going to work as long as they are prepared to back their own ability, at the same time not sacrifice the team," Eade said.
