THE WESTERN Bulldogs have struck a psychological blow ahead of September, defeating likely fellow finalists North Melbourne by 14 points in a spiteful clash at Etihad Stadium on Saturday night.
After conceding two unanswered goals in the opening 10 minutes of the game, the Bulldogs allowed North just five more majors for the night, transforming the encounter into the defensive grind they thrive on to set up a 9.7 (61) to 7.5 (47) win.
The Dogs' victory took them to sixth on the ladder – although they will fall back to seventh if West Coast defeats Fremantle on Sunday – and a game clear of eighth-placed North.
Luke Beveridge's men remain a mathematical chance of gate-crashing the top four over coming weeks, and performances like this can only help that cause.
