AFTER storming back from losing positions against Richmond and Fremantle, the Western Bulldogs are now big believers in their ability to make successful comebacks, according to midfielder Nathan Eagleton.

In round four, the Tigers had a 25-point break midway through the final quarter only for the Dogs to finish with a rush to snatch a heart-stopping draw at Telstra Dome.

On Sunday, they fought back from 18 points down during the final term against Fremantle to win a three-point thriller at Subiaco Oval and remain unbeaten.

While the Dogs expected the Dockers to fold under pressure due to their trend of fourth-quarter failures, Eagleton said the team now believed they had the ability to come back from the dead in future AFL matches.

"Belief I suppose is the big word (for the club) at the moment," Eagleton said.

"The guys know we're always in the contest no matter where it is, or what situation the game is in, so (we gained) massive belief from that effort that we could come back.

"Obviously we did it against Richmond - obviously we didn't get over the line - but we probably got a lot from that and knowing Freo hasn't been the best in the last quarters, we did recognise that, and just stuck to our guns and game plan and the boys just came up trumps."

Captain Brad Johnson was animated at the three-quarter time break, urging his teammates for one last effort against the nervous finishing Dockers.

Eagleton, 29 and a 163-game veteran, said the early season form of the club's youngsters, such as Adam Cooney, Ryan Griffen and Daniel Cross - coupled with the team's unbeaten run, had breathed new life into his career.

He said he was enjoying the challenge of trying to keep up with the club's young pups and said a solid pre-season for the whole team was now bearing fruit.
