    First goal Hawkins

    A lot will depend on the first quarter. I can see a situation where they rattle us - get a 5 goal lead early then we settle and it’s super competitive entertaining football for 3 quarters. Have to come out hard and fast against them

        Will spew up if Gardner is playing. Nothing against him but he is not AFL standard and you just can't play guys like him.

                Chris Scott has said:
                - Selwood to miss again.
                - All but confirmed Zach Tuohy (knee soreness) and Harry Taylor (managed) would return to face the Dogs after missing last week's win over Adelaide.
                - Jack Steven's improving fitness levels would likely allow him to back-up off a five-day break and tackle the Dogs.
                - Harry Taylor's return to the side would likely be the only significant change to his side's structure on Friday night.

                  Selwood out is important to us.
                  But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.

                    Taylor hey.

                    What I crave most is Naughton staring down a crumpled Harry Taylor after he's had his head used as a launch pad.

                      I'd take that, or over Stewart's. I still can't forget the smarmy smile on his face after he posterised one of our guys, and his attempt to mock Bailey Smith for his mullett.

                        I understand Taylors self importance and arrogance, but what on earth has Stewart done to behave the same way?
                        More of an In Bruges guy?

                          That was really funny to be honest.

                            It's ironically funny, cause Stewart's got a 'do like a street cat!

                                The hot topics and talking points ahead of the Bulldogs' blockbuster match-up against Geelong.



                                Four things to watch: Round 14
                                The hot topics and talking points ahead of the Bulldogs' blockbuster match-up against Geelong.


                                1. Dead Eye’ returns

                                Tory Dickson has been a consistent contributor for the Western Bulldogs for the best part of a decade.

                                The 32-year-old returns this week for a crunch clash with the Cats.

                                It’s his first game for 2020, but Dickson is no stranger to the big stage and has some solid scratch-match form behind him.

                                His track record of 181.61 from 113 games proves he knows where the big sticks are.

                                And in what are expected to be dewy, night-time Gold Coast conditions, Dickson’s goal-smarts could have a big say on proceedings.



                                2. Bontempelli v Dangerfield

                                You’d imagine these two are likely to go head-to-head at different stages on Friday night.

                                But even if they don’t, the impact they are able to have on the game will be critical.

                                Bontempelli, the Bulldogs’ skipper, has put together a scintillating fortnight of football to lead his side to wins against Melbourne and the Adelaide Crows.

                                Dangerfield has similarly had an important impact over the past two weeks.

                                Both are among the competition’s elite midfielders, for their ability to win the ball around the stoppage and generate an offensive impact.


                                3. Dogs’ track record

                                Make no mistake, the Bulldogs will have a point to prove.

                                Their record against current top-eight sides this year is 0-5 – with early-season losses to Collingwood and St Kilda followed by a string of defeats to Richmond, Port Adelaide and the Brisbane Lions in the first ‘footy frenzy’.

                                Despite those outcomes though, the Bulldogs sit in eighth spot on the ladder.

                                It makes Friday night’s clash against the Cats super important.

                                A win would go a long way to solidifying that spot inside the eight, but a loss could see them slip back to 11th – depending on other results across the round – and make those finals ambitions just a little bit harder to achieve in 2020.


                                4. Stop the Tomahawk

                                Bulldog boss Luke Beveridge admits Tom Hawkins is going to take some stopping.

                                The Cats’ spearhead has had a sensational 2020 season, not only leading the Coleman Medal tally with 33 majors, but being a joint leader for goal assists (16).

                                Stopping Hawkins goes a long way towards the Bulldogs getting four points.

                                That job looks likely to fall to new defensive chief Alex Keath.

                                Keath has had an outstanding debut season in red, white and blue and will no doubt be excited by the challenge – and probably hoping for some aerial assistance from time-to-time from the likes of Easton Wood and Hayden Crozier.
