What it means for GWS: Last week's loss to Hawthorn all but ended the Giants' top four hopes, but they must beat the Dogs to ensure they're a chance to host an elimination final.

What it means for the Bulldogs: Sitting outside the top eight the Dogs simply can't lose any of their final two games if they hope to sneak into September.

The stat: Star Giant Toby Greene had 20 contested possessions against the Hawks last week and played almost a lone hand in the midfield at times. If he doesn't get more support inside this week, the hungry Dogs could have too many onball options for the home side.

The match-up: Toby Greene v Josh Dunkley

Two of the game's brightest young stars could go head to head in the midfield and both are in sublime form, so the duel will be a cracker. Greene (rated No.202 overall in the Official AFL Player Ratings) and Dunkley (No.41) both relish the hard stuff and are outstanding around stoppages, but they'll also look to get forward when they can to help their teams on the scoreboard.

It’s a big week for: Shane Mumford

The veteran struggled against Jon Ceglar last week and comes up against the young and athletic Tim English on Sunday. If Mumford gets hurt around the ground the Giants will struggle to win the midfield battle.

Big call: Tagger Matt de Boer will return from injury and lock onto Doggies ball magnet Jackson Macrae, keeping him to less than 20 possessions for the first time since round 13 last year.

Prediction: Bulldogs by 8 points

We kicked a collective 14.5 against Freo and Essendon in the first quarters, and just 1.5 against Brisbane and the Saints. Certainly in the Brisbane game (0.5) we were arguably the better team in general play. I think our first quarter, rather than GWS’s, will dictate the game.

Four things to watch: Giants v Dogs
Aug 16, 2019 1:00PM

1. A crucial clash
After a disappointing loss to Hawthorn in the snow last Friday night, the Giants will be hungry for a win. With a home-elimination final on the line, it’s just as much a crucial clash for the home-side as it is for the hopeful Bulldogs.
Desperately seeking two more wins in the final two rounds of the home and away season, a victory over the Giants would hold the Dogs in great stead ahead of next week’s clash with the Crows at Mars Stadium. But it won’t be easy.
Falling by 33-points at the hands of Hawthorn during Round 8 this year, the Giants came firing at the Blues the following week – claiming the 93-point victory in Round 9. If the Bulldogs are going to get the W, it’s not going to come easily.

2. 73-weeks
A lot can happen in 73-weeks, which is how much time has passed since the Dogs and Giants last met.
In their previous encounter, the Bulldogs played in what felt like a nightmare. Tom Liberatore suffered a torn ACL and the Giants claimed the 82-point victory at UNSW Oval. However, since that day 73-weeks ago, the Dogs have faced an overwhelming amount of change and growth, deeming a comparison almost impossible.
On that day, first-gamer Aaron Naughton played his role in defence, alongside high-flyer Hayden Crozier in his first match in red, white and blue. Tim English lined up in the ruck after playing only two games at AFL-level and Easton Wood tested a stint in the forward line.
The Giants will be faced with a new look side this Sunday afternoon at Giants Stadium, and we can’t wait

3. Dunkley v Greene
In an outstanding run of form, 22-year-old midfielder Josh Dunkley has solidified himself as one of the competition’s best young midfielders in 2019. Pair that with GWS’ attacking midfielder Toby Greene, and we’ll have a contest on our hands.
Not afraid to put their head over the footy, both Dunkley and Greene are known to have a huge impact in the middle of the ground, while assisting up forward when needed.
Both dominant around stoppages, the Greene v Dunkley battle is shaping up to be a key talking point of Sunday’s crucial clash. We’ll be eagerly awaiting that first bounce.

4. The return to Giants (Spotless) Stadium
It almost feels like a lifetime ago that the Bulldogs and Giants battled it out in Sydney, for a spot in the 2016 Grand Final. We all know how that panned out in a stadium flooded with red, white and blue, but with a growing GWS supporter base, Sunday’s match could look very different.
The Bulldogs haven’t returned to Giants Stadium (previously named Spotless Stadium) since the 2016 preliminary final, so for a large majority of the Club’s young list, the travel to Sydney will be their first taste of the Giants on their home turf.
A win over Port Adelaide on the road, earlier this year before a competitive performance against second placed Brisbane at The Gabba two weeks ago, should give the young pups the confidence they need ahead of Sunday afternoon.

[choconmientay]

At the VFL game. Apparently Josh Wallis is off sick with a flu and Tim English supposed to have it as well. ��
Lewis Young apparently flew up as coverage for Tim. Hope for the best and all fingers crossed for Tim to be 100% for the game.

[HOSE B ROMERO]

Forecast is for a sunny but windy 23 deg. Depending on the ground orientation, it could be a good toss to win.

[1eyedog]

English out Young in.
Mumford out Dawson in.

[Pickenitup]

English Out Young in Mumford out Simpson in

[comrade]

****!

[Bulldog4life]

Young to full back I presume Trengove to ruck.

[Go_Dogs]

Who rucks?

[Bulldog4life]

Who rucks?

Trengove I would think

[divvydan]

Young named in the ruck but would also expect Trengove to ruck, Cordy onto Himmelberg and Young onto their debutant tall Sproule.

[Bumper Bulldogs]

Young to full back I presume Trengove to ruck.

I think these two outs for both teams favours us more. Unhappy to loss English but we will better off than GWS.

[Eastdog]

Get it right Basil! it should be a great start to the Dogs. Good goal Tory.

[1eyedog]

Are we on? We might be on.

[bulldogtragic]

Naughton!

Now kick it!

[Eastdog]

Great start. AstroNaught!

[comrade]

Jugga!

[Eastdog]

Schache!

[bulldogtragic]

Schach Attack!

[jeemak]

Great start, pressure is right up.

Great finishing all round, Dickson's goal was outstanding.

[1eyedog]

Needed to kill that stoppage

[BornInDroopSt'54]

Are we on? We might be on.

We're on but are GWS?

[bulldogtragic]

Dicko. Bang. Bang.

[Eastdog]

Dickson still has got it! Nice finish under pressure.

[1eyedog]

Nice Dicko most players would miss that

[jeemak]

Dickson isn't cooked at all, he's just warming into the season.

[BornInDroopSt'54]

Schach Attack!

Schack loves his own skills. If he gets his tail up look out.

[comrade]

Cordy has me worried.

[BornInDroopSt'54]

Dickson isn't cooked at all, he's just warming into the season.

I have thought that since change of fitness boss, we have timed ourselves for late season peak.

[ledge]

How hard is it to punch ?
They have one decent forward and we can’t stop him.
Cordy is hard but he has no body strength.
Hopefully we can stop this run on.

[Eastdog]

Need to do better defensively.

[bulldogtragic]

If it's going to be a shoot out, that might not suit us.

[ratsmac]

The plastics scoring to easy atm

[BornInDroopSt'54]

Loyd goal. A blow back.

[Axe Man]

Thanks Heath

[BornInDroopSt'54]

Love the different colours, easy to identify team spread.

[bulldogtragic]

6.0

Hunter!

[ratsmac]

Hunter!!!!!!!

[BornInDroopSt'54]

Lurkie Lachie lurks.

[ledge]

We miss Morris there .. no good body on body.

[ratsmac]

Is Lewis young trying to play polite footy?

[hujsh]

Young has not looked good.

[ledge]

My god the bounce is all favouring them.

[ledge]

Two goals from the bounce going there way when we were off and out.

[Twodogs]

We miss Morris there .. no good body on body.

I nsee what you mean ledge but Moz has been out all season and isn't coming back anytime soon. We need to get used to the idea we have to survive without him.

[Eastdog]

Dunks!

Our forward line is working well.

[bulldogtragic]

Love you Dunks

[1eyedog]

Suckling is doing my head in

[Eastdog]

Lewis punches it through. Good work.

[bulldogtragic]

3 more winning quarters please.

[comrade]

Suckling is doing my head in

He’s a joke.

[1eyedog]

Happy with that. Would take another goal up but it's a foundation to build on.

[BornInDroopSt'54]

We miss Morris there .. no good body on body.

I'd expect LY to be aware that Davis was camped on the line of the ball and LY needed to fling himself at the ball in front of Davis or else Davis marks.

[jeemak]

My god the bounce is all favouring them.

Yeah there was three in a row that lead to their last goal.

[ratsmac]

Suckling is Jekyll and Hyde. Sometimes maybe good, sometimes maybe shit

[BornInDroopSt'54]

If it's going to be a shoot out, that might not suit us.

We can focus on contested footy if Bevo wants to flick the switch.

[Bumper Bulldogs]

Good first up quarter, that’s them done. They gave it everything. Good to be in front one more quarter like that and GWS will drop their heads fame over.

This next quarter is what you would call the premiership quartet.

Finals on the line. We need to get this right.

[ratsmac]

Good quarter 7 goals, its a shame they got 5

[josie]

Trengove doing ok. Might need to move Naughton back at some stage. Cordy and Young look a little shaky. I was fearful of a slow start again so that was a good qtr. Accuracy amazing - keep it up boys. If we can limit Green and Whitfield we go a long way towards stealing this game. Dunkley becoming a gun.

[Bumper Bulldogs]

Yep that lovely 70m kick to Dink’s. Then he try’s that shot little dicky kick.

WOW what’s between the ears.

[jeemak]

That's rubbish letting Greene get goal side....

[Bumper Bulldogs]

How is Greene on his own goal side at a forward 50 bounce

[ratsmac]

Bad start

[Eastdog]

Well done Zaine!

[bulldogtragic]

Need to get going soon.

[kruder]

I think the boys still think we are playing Essendon.

[Vred]

Slow start this quarter...

[angelopetraglia]

They are punishing our cheap turnovers across our half forward line. We need to be smarter.

[Mantis]

That was poor by Lipinski. It’s ok to be slow, but you can’t just slam it on your foot if you don’t think you can run away.

[G-Mo77]

Starting to look concerning right now. Don't like our back 6, giving their opponents way too much space and now they're mids are getting more of it we're getting opened up.

[ratsmac]

We are getting a lesson in field kicking

[bulldogtragic]

*!*!*!*! me Wood.

[comrade]

Playing bruise free footy.

[Eastdog]

That is frustrating from us.

[ledge]

Could we possibly *!*!*!*! it up anymore ??

[ratsmac]

We arent putting any tackle pressure on at all!!!!

[bulldogtragic]

If we don't turn this around be half time, it's going a to be near impossible in the last half.

[Vred]

*!*!*!*!ing *!*!*!*!

[ratsmac]

5mtr kicks are marks now

[Bullies]

Getting killed in the middle. they are putting no pressure on. That is hard on the backs when there is no pressure.

[ledge]

Omg lets just do an Essendon and watch them run out of defence.

[Topdog]

Self destructing at the moment. Wood with 2 awful mistakes in 1 minute. Getting killed at the clearances

[Vred]

That wasn’t 15 but pay it anyway...

[BornInDroopSt'54]

Is Brett Daniels Caleb's relo, both compressed giants?

[Twodogs]

That wasn’t 15 but pay it anyway...

There have been a few of those for both teams.

[bulldogtragic]

Well done Hayes...

[BornInDroopSt'54]

I think the boys still think we are playing Essendon.
Ha but true.

[BornInDroopSt'54]

Duryea@

[comrade]

Playing like the Fremantle Bulldogs.

[BornInDroopSt'54]

Lloyd$

[kruder]

Might change the game that tackle

[Eastdog]

Bad miss from Lloyd

[BornInDroopSt'54]

Lloyd (:

[Twodogs]

This time last year was when Shaw should have retired. He just looks like a frustrated, angry old man ATM.

[Topdog]

Playing much better in the last 10 minutes but need a goal

[G-Mo77]

Dawson Simpson is looking like a Gawn or Grundy today.

[Mantis]

I missed the 1st qtr... how did we kick 7 goals?

[Mantis]

They just kick the ball so much better than us.

[jeemak]

How we let Shaw get in the open is beyond me. Lazy.

[ledge]

As I said let them all run out of the backline let’s not man up and give them 20mtres to do what they want.

[comrade]

Really poor kick from Bailey Smith.

Naughton showing why I have some doubts on his forward ability.

[Twodogs]

I missed the 1st qtr... how did we kick 7 goals?

By playing better than them believe it or not. We need our first quarter mojo back.

[G-Mo77]

I missed the 1st qtr... how did we kick 7 goals?

It was a rare fast start and caught the Giants napping. They've controlled the game since about the 15 - 20 minute mark of the 1st. We don't look like scoring now.

[Topdog]

That hurts.

[Eastdog]

Well done Ed!

[Twodogs]

It was a rare fast start and caught the Giants napping. They've controlled the game since about the 15 - 20 minute mark of the 1st. We don't look like scoring now.

Keep saying that G-Mo.

[bulldogtragic]

If we can go in about even, I'll happily take it.

[G-Mo77]

Heath Shaw. Forever a *!*!*!*!wit. Always has been, always will be.

[Eastdog]

Lipinski!

[Topdog]

Suckling is playing really well

[G-Mo77]

Keep saying that G-Mo.

Lol. Timed that perfectly.

[Topdog]

That's the way Bont

[bulldogtragic]

The umpire wasn't reporting Bont was he? Bont didn't seem happy with whatever was said.

[bornadog]

The Bont throwing his weight around, nice to see some mongrel

[G-Mo77]

That's the way Bont

He collected the only likeable Giant though.

[Twodogs]

That's the way Bont

I'm loving Bont's aggression today.

[bornadog]

I hate this plastic shit

[ratsmac]

Wow 3 points behind. After an ordinary no tackling first 2/3 of the quarter, I'll take that!

[kruder]

I reckon we should swap Mclean for Lippa in the midfield, Mclean just has the harder edge for mine which will be crucial in the second half.

[jeemak]

Suckling is playing really well

Nah let's just bash him and not worry about that.

[ratsmac]

We need Cordy's knee to take out grub Green

[Bumper Bulldogs]

I reckon we should swap Mclean for Lippa in the midfield, Mclean just has the harder edge for mine which will be crucial in the second half.

Totally agree. Tell MCClean that Greene wants to date his wife. See how that pans out for them.

[ratsmac]

I reckon we should swap Mclean for Lippa in the midfield, Mclean just has the harder edge for mine which will be crucial in the second half.

Good call. Lippa getting his hands on it in the f50 too. It makes sense

[Twodogs]

The umpire wasn't reporting Bont was he? Bont didn't seem happy with whatever was said.

If anyone should get reported it's the GWS player with his arm around the umpire surely? Touching umpires is still against the rules isn't it?

[bornadog]

Can someone please knock out Greene

[Bumper Bulldogs]

Well we a Bevo rev up. Seasons on the line and we need to come out like our life depends on it.

We’ve given them a few easy ones so if we tidy that up we should be right

[josie]

Love the way Bont is flying the flag for us. God I had this plastic oranges and their faux tough guy stuff. Trengove trying his guts out. Hunter very good. Duryea, Bont, Macrae, Dunks good too. If we can curb Green and Whitfield we can do this. Cordy did some nice things and Young too-settling into game. Is that Mumford I saw playing in their backline? I thought he was out. Would love Hayes to kick a goal to help build his confidence.

[ratsmac]

Totally agree. Tell MCClean that Greene wants to date his wife. See how that pans out for them.

Haha show him how it works in Frankston!

[Bumper Bulldogs]

If anyone should get reported it's the GWS player with his arm around the umpire surely? Touching umpires is still against the rules isn't it?

That’s was Davis the captain. He’ll be right. The AFL love him.

[Twodogs]

Can someone please knock out Greene

Pay my fare and I will do it. I'm even happy to wait until midweek to go up there!

[chef]

Nah let's just bash him and not worry about that.

One bad kick and the pitchforks are out.

[Twodogs]

That’s was Davis the captain. He’ll be right. The AFL love him.

Yeah, true. They adore him. Redpath found that out.

[The Bulldogs Bite]

Some concerning signs - can’t let Whitfield and Greene get that much space and we need to use the ball much better going forward.

[Bullies]

Suckling has been good but those who don't rate him will remember his wayward kick.

[Eastdog]

Macrae, Suckling and Bont our top disposal winners.

[bornadog]

A few players need to lift - Smith, Hayes, Naughton, Schache

[jeemak]

They're actually having to play really well to keep in front of us, while we've been patchy and are almost even with them.

Curb their run and tighten up with some defencive positioning and we will be alright.

[Bumper Bulldogs]

Suckling has been good but those who don't rate him will remember his wayward kick.

WIW that’s a tad harsh. He didn’t execute the kick, but what was he thinking that time of the game the percentage was a long bomb down the line for a boundary throw in and s reset. That’s my knock on any senior player.

[LostDoggy]

We need to be the grown up dogs, hit hard and unsettle them

[Eastdog]

Big 2nd half coming up. Cmon Dogs!

[merantau]

They really good on top in the ruck in the 2nd. But we fought our way back into the game. We have crueled some real chances going inside 50 and there have been some ordinary turnovers.
We have to come out FIRING and let them know they are in for a game. Bailey Smith should be primed for a big second half. Toby too has been quiet. Let's go Dogs.

[Bumper Bulldogs]

A few players need to lift - Smith, Hayes, Naughton, Schache

Agree would it be worth Naughton starting in the tick fir 5 minutes just to get the legs going. He seems to be playing to deep which Davis loves.

[Rocket Science]

Christ there were more people at today's VFL game than there are at this one.

[jeemak]

Naughton isn't helped by that sort of kicking, Toby really let us down there after a good effort to break away.

[Eastdog]

Bailey Smith!! Great goal!

[jeemak]

Gawd I love Bailey Smith.

[Vred]

This feels like the 2016 prelim all over again...

[merantau]

Bailey Smith steps up

[bulldogtragic]

Oh Suckers.

Keep the pressure up lads.

[Twodogs]

Christ there were more people at today's VFL game than there are at this one.

Is there a wind blowing toward either end. Our kicks appear to be going further all a sudden like the did in the first.

[Rocket Science]

Lewy Young is the spidery-limbed bastard we've missed since Hamling walked.

Done well in one-on-ones for the most part.

[bulldogtragic]

Oh Suckers.

Keep the pressure up lads.

Oh Lachie.

Keep the pressure up lads.

[Sedat]

Quick reminder that a draw is as good as a win today. We need to win next week anyway and it takes Port out of the equation, who have a slightly better percentage and will destroy Freo next week.

[Twodogs]

We are missing Tim English around the ground.

[bulldogtragic]

Nice goal TD.

[bornadog]

The Shack

[Eastdog]

Schack attack!

[bulldogtragic]

Schach Attack 2: The Goalening

[Rocket Science]

Percentage Dogs.

[Twodogs]

Nice goal TD.

It was a pleasure.

[bornadog]

Macrae is so good, if he is not AA this year then I give up

[Eastdog]

TD has been very good and Le Young.

[Topdog]

Just like that it's 5 in row

[G-Mo77]

Loving the effort this quarter. Need to keep it going

[Twodogs]

We had to tackle Greene or Kelly then.

[Eastdog]

Dunks! Great quarter! Cmon Dogs!

[bulldogtragic]

Dunks. Have I told you lately that I love you?

[angelopetraglia]

Come. Keep pushing Dogs.

Dunkley has improved his kicking.

[Vred]

Sign Dunkley on a lifetime deal, pronto

[Topdog]

Is there a wind blowing toward either end. Our kicks appear to be going further all a sudden like the did in the first.

There must be because Dunkley can't kick 55m with no effort

[ratsmac]

Once we started tackling these plastic *!*!*!*!s we took control of the contest. Keep going dogs

[Twodogs]

Naughton has got a free kick!!!!!!!!!

[bornadog]

Basil you dickhead, Dale has fumbled all day

[bulldogtragic]

That foot of yours on their throat, push harder.

[josie]

Wowee!! Go you good things. Go Naughty!!

[merantau]

Macrae and Dunkley have been so good all game. And Aaron Naughton boots another! Go Dogs!

[bornadog]

Tough games like this, guys like Hayes, Dale, need to do more

[Topdog]

Quickly becoming a match winning lead. Need to keep up this intensity

[ratsmac]

Naughton finally gets a free. They do that shit to him all the time

[G-Mo77]

Naughton has got a free kick!!!!!!!!!

Did you record it?

[Vred]

Let’s put the plastics to bed

[bornadog]

Wood has been excellent today

[Topdog]

Basil you dickhead, Dale has fumbled all day

So clean with everything he has done all day. I quickly check, yep 7 disposals at 43%

[Rocket Science]

Giants beginning to implode and resort to the sooky faux tough shit that is their calling card.

Keep it up f*ckheads.

[Vred]

Getting under their skin now

[bulldogtragic]

Piggy!

[angelopetraglia]

Suckling. Genius or nothing.

[chef]

That Suckling aint bad.

[jeemak]

Suckers!!!

[merantau]

Suckers!!

[Vred]

Suckkkeeerrrrs with the bomb

[Topdog]

Suckling you beauty

What the *!*!*!*!!!!!!!

[1eyedog]

How can you overturn that!!!

[Topdog]

How is that definitive????

[ratsmac]

OMG did they really overturn that goal on that evidence. GAGF afl

[Vred]

Touched my ass

[Murphy'sLore]

That is not nearly enough evidence to overturn. What b***shit.

[AndrewP6]

The score review debacle is atrocious.

[Rocket Science]

Pity the break's arriving because we've got these pricks on toast.

[bornadog]

I hope Naughty is ok

[Murphy'sLore]

I think I asterisked the wrong word.

I may have had some wine.

[ratsmac]

What a load of absolute cheating bullshit

[The Bulldogs Bite]

Absolute BS overturn

And Lloyd ffs kick a goal

[Axe Man]

Might have been touched, might not have been. Had to stay with the on field call there

[G-Mo77]

What a quarter of footy. Love seeing our team respond to the off ball bullshit with fair tough footy and putting score on the board. Please keep it up for another 30 minutes

[comrade]

Absolute BS overturn

And Lloyd ffs kick a goal

He’ll die trying. Never seen a bloke love having a ping more than him.

[angelopetraglia]

Easton Wood has been great today. Good return to form.

[The Bulldogs Bite]

He’ll die trying. Never seen a bloke love having a ping more than him.

It’s been infuriating the last 3 or so weeks

[jeemak]

I have no idea how they can overturn that.....I really don't.

Fantastic quarter, so glad we have a situation where the opposition needs to kick more than five goals to beat us.

[hujsh]

Thought Young looked concerning in the contest and on the lead in the first quarter. Has been fantastic since. Well done young man

[josie]

Geez they are so damn inconsistent with the goal reviews. Pity Lloyd missed that one close to goal. Still 29 points up is pretty damn good. What have we done to turn it around? Is someone tagging Whitfield? Bont might be sacrificing his game for good of the team? Any Woofers picking up something with out strategy? Or matchups?

[ratsmac]

If we lose this by a goal the afel need to be held to some sort of account. There is no evidence of a touch of that ball either that or my new 70" tv is no good.

[kruder]

I wonder how many goals from 70m out have been touched in AFL history? Surely not...

We got the game on our terms, they can't win it if we continue the same structure and the pressure continues.

Lewy Young well done mate.

[josie]

Thought Young looked concerning in the contest and on the lead in the first quarter. Has been fantastic since. Well done young man


Totally agree-has grown into game. Am more confident with him in a 1 on 1 than Cordy at present. And Cordy has been ok too.

[bornadog]

Might have been touched, might not have been. Had to stay with the on field call there

How does a ball travel 70 metres if it is touched

[Vred]

Easton Wood has been great today. Good return to form.
Agreed with this

[Webby]

If we lose this by a goal the afel need to be held to some sort of account. There is no evidence of a touch of that ball either that or my new 70" tv is no good.

Apart from the law of common sense, too. The ball landed 70m from
The kicking point and flew (and spun) bone arrow straight..!

[ledge]

Let’s stop this wind being a factor in the last.

[Rocket Science]

You know who else has been very, very good: Lipinski.

You give our big dog mids quality support like that and we're nigh on unstoppable.

[ledge]

How come the commentators always want our opposition to win ?

[Vred]

I’m really starting to like Hayes

[1eyedog]

Shite. That would have iced it.

[Rocket Science]

We could easily be another four goals up if not for easy misses and bizarre reversals.

[G-Mo77]

Could have iced this game.

[Topdog]

Lewis young has been great

[bulldogtragic]

Lewis young has been great

He can't be dropped if English comes back next week. Too good.

[bulldogtragic]

Iced.

[G-Mo77]

Well done Bailey. Needed someone to finish the good work

[Vred]

We’re in the 8 lads!!!!!

[merantau]

Bailey Dale - the Ice Man.
