Robert Heatley Stand / Re: Post Game Participation: AFL Rd 6: Carlton vs Western Bulldogs
This is the game we needed. A convincing win over an in form team. That was the epitome of team first football, and the fact that we had so many good contributors shows that we’re building some real depth and can move away from our over reliance on Cripps.

On one of the post round analysis shows on Fox, Montagna was saying that he thinks we will be playing finals this year. I’m not convinced yet, but the thing that they failed to mention when talking about it is that we’ve already played 4 of the 7 teams above us on the ladder (beating 2 of them). Which means most of our games remaining are against teams below us, including Adelaide, Sydney, North Melbourne and the Gold Coast (who have lost a bit with Rowell going down). If we can keep building this momentum and hunger, I’m getting a bit of a Bulldogs circa 2015 feel about the season. Certainly not contenders at the pointy end, but maybe a chance for get some valuable finals experience into our younger players.
