I knew the bulldogs had a lot of injuries but when Hanish rattled off the names i was shocked how many so I looked them up.

Bailey Dale Foot 2-3 weeks
Tory Dickson Hamstring 3 weeks
Tim English Foot 2-3 weeks
Tom Liberatore Knee Season
Jack Macrae Hamstring 2-3 weeks
Liam Picken Concussion Indefinite
Jack Redpath Knee 4-5 weeks
Clay Smith Knee 2-3 weeks
Matt Suckling Achilles Test
Lukas Webb Thumb 2-3 weeks
Easton Wood Hamstring 10 weeks
So that is 7 premiership players out plus Redpath and Suckling are important player. Add Lin Jong being out for more than 3/4 of the game where it was 21 v 22 and also a few other injuries in the first quarter but they got back on. So that's a gutsier win than I first gave them credit for, especially given their poor record against Geelong and the fact the cats only have 2 or 3 first XXII players missing.
