THE TALKING POINTS

A chance to reset

Coming off the bye last weekend, Saturday night will provide the Bulldogs with an opportunity to improve their 6-6 ledger. Their recent record against the Giants should instill some confidence, having won three of their past four encounters. It will also mark the Bulldogs’ third interstate trip of the season – with another three to go.

Fiery encounter on the cards

There’s no denying the Bulldogs and Giants have produced some thrilling and fiery contests throughout the years. The red, white and blue faithful will fondly recall the 2016 preliminary final – which saw the Dogs record a six-point win to advance to their first Grand Final in 55 years.

Trio to return

The Bulldogs will welcome back a trio of talls in Josh Schache, Jamarra Ugle-Hagan and Jason Johannisen; the latter who will play his first AFL match of the year. Ugle-Hagan has impressed at VFL level in recent weeks, booting nine goals in two games, while Schache has alternated between defence, attack and even in the ruck. Johannisen returned from an injury and illness-interrupted first half of the year in Footscray’s 66-point win over Williamstown, emerging unscathed.
