A Tale of Two Teams: The Bulldogs' Dominance and Richmond's Struggles The Western Bulldogs' 57 point thrashing of Richmond was a stark reminder of the disparity between the top teams in the AFL and those struggling to stay competitive.
While the Dogs celebrated their third consecutive win, sending a clear message that they are a force to be reckoned with come September, Richmond's wooden spoon hopes grew ever closer.
The Bulldogs' victory was built on the back of two superstars: Ed Richards and Marcus Bontempelli. These players controlled the game from midfield, dominating possession and clearance work as they have all season.
