It’s that going in the corridor when they don’t need to. “We know they want to take the corridor on. You need to be punchier than that,” commentator Daisy Pearce said. The Western Bulldogs (8-8, 110.4%) will be without star forward Aaron Naughton under the health and safety protocols. There were no late changes for either side. The Western Bulldogs started the must-win clash with St Kilda full of run, and punished the Saints at every opportunity.

Ben Long’s attack on the ball on the wing was excellent. Unlike much of the night, they took the game on and moved the ball quickly. Time is on the Dogs’ side.

It's do or die for two finals-hungry sides. LIVE from 7.50pm AEST (AFL)

FRIDAY night's clash between the Western Bulldogs and St Kilda is the closest thing you can get to an elimination final outside of September.

We don’t look further than next week which is against the Melbourne. We have top eight teams and we want to finish in the eight, we have to beat those sides. I think we’ve been really disappointed with the way teams have been able to move through us in the last couple of weeks in particular. I think that is the recipe for going forward and how we want to play. I think the way teams are able to utilise their half-backs, it suits my strengths in a way.
