WESTERN BULLDOGS v HAWTHORN
Sunday 5 May @ Marvel Stadium
Two of the more disappointing sides meet on Sunday and for the loser it will be a big media scrum you'd expect.
For the Dogs, there were pre-season expectations of a high finish and that could still happen. But things need to change and fast.
Losing happens but losing badly without huge yelps is another. Even though they were level midway through the third quarter, it was 4 goals to 1 in the last.
They do find ways to go to sleep in games and without Liberatore even there, leave alone not at his best overall, there was disconnect getting the ball out.
That group of talls just weren't controlling the skies and still no Ugle-Hagan who has been the best there to top it off.
They won't find as much confrontation in the Hawks defence if last week was anything to go by.
Sydney didn't even dominate the contest but once they got the sherrin it was one way traffic with their great kicking.

Expecting a bit of a rebound from Hawthorn after the negativity emanating from the Swans game. But so too will the Dogs be mad. It just has to mean more to the home side doesn't it?
