Close to a perfect start for Bevo’s Bulldogs, who pile on six goals from 11 scoring shots to take a 33-point lead to quarter-time.
Nothing is safe after what happened to Melbourne last week, but this is looking like a great opportunity for the Dogs to eat into the deficit to their fellow top-eight contenders and boost their already mighty percentage further.

Sam Darcy bobbed up with two early goals against Sam Taylor, but the unsung hero is Caleb Poulter, who has arguably been the best player afield with an equal-game-high eight disposals and a goal, which came after he hauled in a strong mark in front of Giant Leek Aleer.
Tim English is proving a handful, too, with seven disposals and 2.1.
The Dogs are moving the ball quickly and brilliantly, whereas the Giants have been fumbly and turnover prone so far.
The sole GWS goal came from a close-range Jake Riccardi snap, with a second Sherrin on the field at the time after a fan threw it on the field as the Giants went into attack.
