The Bulldogs are fresh from a 74-point win over the Narrabri Eagles, which ensured they will play finals footy for the first time in five years.
Despite putting their opponents to the sword, they did lack composure in front of goal on many occasions. Full forward Mitchell Swain was the lead contributor with six majors, and was ably assisted by forward Scot Hardy with three.
Coach Greg Piggot gave his side high appraisal for the efforts considering the small sizing of the ground and their opponents structure on the day.
"We were really good out of the middle and on a small ground thought we did really well considering how many they had in defence behind the ball," Piggot said. In the rounds’ other games, the Eagles host Moree and the Roos and Swans clash.
