I can't see this match being one-sided. It will be a relatively close game. Sam Mitchell won't be playing today.
The Hawks will want to make a claim at there home of home grounds.

Looking forward to seeing Bontapelli and Stringer! Can't see the Dogs having the firepower to beat us but can see the young dog midfield giving it a good crack!

Stringer won't be playing. That's the word coming out from the Bulldogs board.

Stringer's partner went into labour last night. Word is he won't play.

Mitchell and Smith out, Langford and Duryea in

Wow, those are massive outs, still tipping the Hawks, but the Doggies have to fancy their chances now
