Wodonga targeting four straight wins to round out season

The Bulldogs have stunned top five fancies Wangaratta Rovers and Myrtleford in successive weeks, and meet Corowa-Rutherglen at home on Saturday, followed by North Albury in round 18.

"It's been massive for our group to take into next year," boom recruit Angus Baker offered.

'We might have been out of the running for finals, but there was a fair bit on the line for us, that form that we need leading into next year and create a winning environment where our young players get used to that and know where the level is at."

The Bulldogs have named last year's leading goalkicker Ethan Redcliffe as an emergency, but the club has suddenly found firepower.

In rounds 13-14, Wodonga averaged 34 points.

In the last two wins, it's been more than doubled to 77.
