When was the last time we played them away from Tesltra Dump?
Have we beaten them since 2013? Or did we lose that one too?
We know they are fast and slick, and hit their targets.
Can we match that, or will today's win take too much out of the players?
Again, a four-quarter buy-in by all players will be crucial to our chances.
Moore kicked a bag last time, we will need him to repeat the dose.
I recall Kennedy getting a lot of ball, only to slaughter it with turn overs.
That was probably the end for him at the pies.
Stringer worries me; not sure we can man him up adequately.
Guess we will find another piece of the puzzle next week...

I think the last time we have beaten the Western Bulldogs was 2013.
In 2014 we only played them once and lost
In 2015 we only played them once and lost

I am far too elated and happy right bloody now, celebrating one of the best twenty wins I have seen by the PIes, and attended, to even consider next week, far too early for me yet, I'm enjoying todays wonderful win first.

Since Docklands opened we have played 17 games there against the Dogs and just 8 at the MCG. 10/7 winning record at Docklands, 5/3 at the MCG
So really over the years the venue hasn't made much difference.
However of interest, this is only the 2nd H&A game at the MCG in the last 10 years with 10 games at Docklands in that period.
You would think the MCG would favour us and before the season this would have been locked in as a win, but given we have lost to Carlton, St Kilda and Melbourne which were all easy games, I wouldn't back us against anyone this season.
Need a few more good wins before anyone could confidently tip Collingwood to win a game. |

Massive game now and the buildup will be interesting. I want to see how the Dogs go against the Giants before making a proper assessment on how we should approach them and whether any changes need to be made.
It's hard to see any changes being made this week unless they're forced changes. Everyone stood up today and played their roles beautifully. The Bulldogs, even at the MCG will be a tough proposition for us but it would be another massive scalp if we beat them next week.
Feeling pumped for next week! Haven't felt pumped for a match all year so hopefully this is a cracker.
