Western Bulldogs: Luke Dahlhaus

As mentioned earlier, the Western Bulldogs have hit the scoreboard the least out of all top eight clubs (1,229 points for, ranked 10th in the competition for points scored) and it is in part due to the Jake Stringer solo act down forward. As brilliant as it may be, there are 21 other men in a footy team, and more of his teammates will need to up their scoring later on in the season. Stringer has kicked 29 goals this season, with Jack Redpath the next best with 16. One name that comes to mind is Luke Dahlhaus. With only 7.6 for the year, perhaps throwing him forward a bit more to spend time resting in the front third may be the key to a more formidable Bulldogs outfit heading towards the finals. They have done well thus far to win low scoring games, but adding more scoreboard pressure will definitely help their chances come September.
