Assume they would have taken at least one emergency.. assume Dowling and one of Burgess or Borlase will line up for the ressies..

Pudney to play his first game as a Bulldog.
Louie McLennan and Jack Callinan in the reserves.

ffs

Is this the weakest Crows team for a while? Centrals by 40 points.

Bugger!

CD 15.7 97
CROWS 5.12 42
A 55 point win,
kicked over 90 points 2 weeks in a row,
Pearce kicked 5 goals,
he's coming along nicely under Thommo & Co's coaching methods.

It seems the Dogs circa 2024 are stronger than last season. And clearly the recruits, particularly Barry and Gasper, have had a big impact.
What cannot be discounted is the huge steps taken by some of the pre-existing playing group. Liddy and Larkins in the midfield, Dudley, Grace and Pearce up front and Will Splann down back are all much improved on previous outings.
Been a long time since the Dogs had two fwds (Pearce and Grace) kicking 5 each.

Dogs looking solid. The midfield additions of Barry and Dittmar add class and grunt. Gaspar adds class upfront.

Pudney had a good debut, Presbury to half back is working well.

Pearce kicked 5, that cost me a round.

When is the last time dogs started the season 2-0.

Might be 5-0!
