The Top Eight itself looks pretty solid with nine rounds to go until the finals, but the Dogs won’t want to give any team a sniff of knocking them out of there.
But the way the Swans have been playing makes a win here a difficult task.
However, if the Bulldogs can find a way to dominate the middle of the field, this will give them a chance.
The issue is that the strength of the Bulldogs, their midfield, is also a huge strength of their opponents.
Sydney lead the competition in contested possessions, whereas the Bulldogs aren’t far away in third.
But when the Swans get on a roll, they are very hard to stop and lethal up front when given opportunities.
A sunny Saturday at the SCG will be very different from their last meeting there, a dark and soaking wet encounter where the Bulldogs just did enough to get away from the Swans.
Unfortunately for the Bulldogs, all the boxes seem to be ticked for the Swannies here.
