WESTERN Bulldogs assistant coach Wayne Campbell says the club is simply concentrating on winning enough games to make the finals, and isn't concerned about the top four just yet.

The former Richmond captain was speaking before training on Wednesday afternoon, and said the Dogs were not getting ahead of themselves by re-assessing their goals at this stage.

"I don't think we'll be doing that for a fair while, we just need to get enough wins to make the top-eight first, so that's still a few weeks away," he said.

“We'll wait until we do that, and then have to reassess then, but we need to make finals first."

Campbell said a strong point of the Doggies this year had been their flexibility, having the ability to push midfielders forward and having them kick goals, or moving forwards into the middle to give others a spell.

"Yeah, it is one of [our strengths], definitely. For years people have been saying you need to have multiple numbers being able to rotate through the midfield – it's become a cliché, but it's only a cliché because it's true.

"We've just had a lot of players who've had really good pre-seasons, and have now played eight games in a row, so that gives us that flexibility to do that.

"The players have come to their end of the bargain, and (Adam) Cooney goes forward and kicks a couple of goals.

"We as coaches can make the moves, but the players have got to do the job, and they did it on the weekend."

Campbell said the team had pulled up well after the long flight from Perth on Sunday night, but faced a tough game this weekend, with North celebrating Brent Harvey's 250th in the blue and white.

"They've certainly got the wood over us – they've beaten us in contested footy the last couple of times we've played them, but we'd like to think we've improved in that area.

"We had the biggest of the big with Glenn Archer's 300th, and obviously Brent Harvey's 250th, [but I'm] not sure whether that lifts teams too much – there's conjecture as to whether it does or doesn't.

"We just need to bring our part of the bargain to the game."
