          We've lost the lead early in the last quarter, Cats now up by 8. (edit: we've run over the top of them, now back up by 16)

          Webb starting in the centre square, won a couple of clearances and cracking in well! Looks like he will become a very accomplished player for us.

          Greenwood had a particularly strong third quarter through the middle. Prudden I haven't noticed personally, but has been playing in the middle.

          Also the first match I've seen from Jordan Kelly, I've been impressed. Playing through the centre, has been a good linkman with run and skills noticeable. What has been the knock on him?

            Webb can play in a variety of positions. He performed well in the centre during the Carnival last year.

            Greenwood is a good player at this level.

            I think the knock on Kelly is that he doesn't have a true position.

            A number of the Bulldog boys are playing well. Hunter looks sharp.

              Another sign our fitness has really stepped up this season. We are running out games better than the opposition this pre season.

                So from when the Cats were 8 points up 5 minutes into the last quarter, we then kicked 11 straight unanswered goals to win by about 50.

                I can't make it to the afl game tonight, so really enjoyed that.

                  He's a great backup for either Tom Boyd or Will. Especially Tom.

                  Also gives us the option of playing Boyd in the VFL a few weeks for whatever reason if we think Cordy can cover his role

                    It's a moot point now, but he was never tested at AFL level.

                      Who kicked our goals in the last?
                      Have you heard Butters wants to come to the Dogs?

                        Dale and McLean both ended up with 4 goals each.
                        Campbell kicked one in the last and ended up 3 goals.
                        Webb and Hamilton both kicked one in the last.

                          Thanks.

                          Great to hear Dale and McLean had some serious scoreboard impact.

                            It was a massive finish and a great sign for the season. The good part was the contribution from a number of the younger boys
