CibbuanoDogs may alter game plan: Eade
September 2nd 2008 08:04
THE Western Bulldogs may alter their attacking brand of football when they take on Hawthorn in Friday night's qualifying final at the MCG, according to coach Rodney Eade.=
Eade said his players would need to adopt an 'overall defensive mindset' and focus on working without the ball to overcome the Hawks' dominant forward line.
Dale Morris is expected to be given the unenviable task of trying to contain Lance Franklin but Eade said it was important for his side to not become too focused on trying to just stop the Coleman Medallist.
"If you put all your eggs in the one basket and one particular player, others get out of the loop," he said.
Meanwhile, ruckman Ben Hudson is rated a '70-30' chance to return from injury
