    Or we could just leave our 2 best rebounders (1 in All Australian contention and 1 having a career best season by an absolute mile) where they are most effective for us - in the backline. I know there are too many back flankers but these are the 2 guys that we do not move.

    Yes, agree with this.

    Although we are concerned with who to match up on Freo's forwards - with the likes of Lobb, Hogan, Taberner and Fyfe in the forward line, there isn't exactly a lot of defensive pressure there. I think it is a real opportunity to find a heap of drive from half back (which we have been doing) and hopefully catch Freo on the hop. Freo are a very good intercept team and I think our bigger concerns are with how they defend than how they attack. We need to be smart with ball use and hit up rather than bang it in when they are 'set'. Its a really really big day for Naughton. Loved his game last week, showed a really sense of urgency and identified when he needed to get himself a long way up the ground to help.

    I'm pretty confident that we do what needs to be done and will be well in control by half time.

    Wood gets through training test

    The Western Bulldogs look likely to regain defender Easton Wood for a crucial round 18 clash against Fremantle.

    A win will get the Bulldogs through to the finals, but the Dogs could use a boost in defence against the Dockers' key forward trio of Matt Taberner, Rory Lobb and Jesse Hogan.

    Wood has battled a hamstring injury in recent weeks but got through Friday's training session and is "definitely available" for selection.

    "We've always thought he's a better player when he's sort of in the middle of everything and doesn't have to play in a key defensive post," Bulldogs coach Luke Beveridge said of Wood.

    "We feel like he'll be able to provide us with some strong defensive run as well, that's if we pick him of course."

    Versatile midfielder Toby McLean had negated the likes of Andrew Gaff and Lachie Whitfield this season weeks, but Beveridge may be forced to shuffle the deck when it comes to finding a replacement following McLean's ACL rupture.

    "The roles Toby has played have been important to us, he's played in every line and shut down some prime movers from the opposition," Beveridge said.

    "Now do you put a Toby McLean clone in to play a similar role, or with our spread and depth of our midfielders do we trust something else?"

    Patrick Lipinski was a travelling emergency for the Bulldogs last week and could be one of the players in the mix to fill that role.

    Apart from that sentence being nonsensical - I'm not sure Toby can take the credit for negating Whitfield, pretty sure Naughton took care of that.

    Well McLean did start and started well on Whitfield - Beveridge even said as much in his presser after the game.

    Suckling listed as injured. Nice to see Cavarra as emergency. Hope that’s an indication he might get another year in his contract.

    Walters out helps.

    Lippy’s good disposal a plus. Woody a good senior mentor - always gives his all. Go Dogs!!

    Walters is the kind of guy who would have a blinder against us so I'm not upset that he's out.

    Those 'INS' seem strangely sensible.

    What're you playing at coach?

    Half the side are defenders so if Freo kicks more than 5 goals I’ll be disappointed
