if you said that 4 to 6 weeks ago i would have thought it was a stupid comment but i'm starting to warm to the idea that the bulldogs maybe the real deal. i've had a long term belief the dogs dont play a brand of footy that will win them a premiership because they haven't played contested footy well and don't have a quality ruckman. this seems to have changed. minson and hudson dominated against the lions and also against the hawks and their midfield benefited. midfielders and ruckmen win grand finals , the bulldogs have a very good midfield and two good ruckman in form - they could be some threat. hawks seem to be a bit vulnerable because they don't have a quality ruckman.
