ContestedFooty’s start of the year preview

2nd-4th All the hype this year belongs to the Bulldogs this pre-season going by reports. The recruitment of Hall is seen by many to be the final step needed to become a likely flag candidate.

For me, the Bulldogs are right along the edge, with a reliance on the like of Johnson, Akermanis and now Hall in the forward half, it’s a bit worrying. Having said that, Johnson and Akermanis have been managed brilliantly.
The age of those players can be seen as a positive for this year in a way though. It could very well be their last chance for a chance at a flag with those 3 in the team, and the whole club will most likely know it.

They no doubt can win the flag, but it’s all depending on the impact of Hall and the other oldies.
