Thoughts on the WB/WC match tonight.....yours are?

Former Geelong player Michael Lenaghan oversees the session, the playing list standing around a whiteboard that has those ratings determined earlier, one column the coaches' scores, the other the players'.

But the coaches don't agree. "The only thing we thought was that you got too down on yourself," says Campbell. "This isn't about the end result," Cameron reassures him, "it's about how you go about it."

Veteran West, who watched the Richmond game from the coach's box, has an observation about the "preparation" marks. "It's interesting there's lots of sixes and sevens there (from players)," he says. "The last month there's been more eights and nines. Did we do something different we weren't happy with?"

"It struck me on the whiteboard, the players' marks were too far down on what the coaches had. Don't play games in your mind, don't second guess what we're after. You end up dancing at shadows. If there's a problem, we'll talk to you about it."

Not sure who wrote that preview but the Bulldogs actually had five less scoring shots than the Tigers last weekend. Not sure if Brad Johnson is playing tonight or not yet. And I don't think confidence will be a problem for the Bulldogs, they are 4-1-0.

Anyway I got WCE here. Bulldogs have played their last four matches on the Telstra Dome surface, which is known as a hard surface, and teams who play back-to-back at the TD are generally poor ATS in those matches. The Bulldogs have Sydney next week and I think Western Bulldogs could go in complacent here - WCE haven't exactly been setting the house on fire. On the other side, that same WCE will be looking to continue that fourth-quarter last weekend. They beat the Bulldogs here last year by 87 points and while they mightn't win tonight, I see them giving enough of an effort to stay close.
