I was all about the Bulldogs a couple of weeks ago after watching them take some big scalps over the past two months and doing it by completely shutting down their opponents attack. I am back there again and hopefully it doesn’t put the curse on them.
The Bulldogs have conceded an average of 65.66 points per game over their past 6 matches and that is including the 111 points the Crows put on them in their loss two weeks ago, of course. They have also averaged 100.33 points themselves during that span.
It is all about keeping their hands on the ball, leading the league with an average of 369 possessions per game in 2024.
