And how much did you draw on that argy-bargy in the niggle?

Do your personalities rub off on each other, Artie?

I mean, you both present, publicly at least anyway, with a smile on your face and a bounce in your step and an appearance of having great joy just doing what you're doing.

The leadership of Marcus Bontempelli has long been established before 2026, Artie, but what he's been able to do as part of this overall comeback in this season of the Bulldogs' scoreline, it's been pretty significant.

He was brilliant again last night, wasn't he?

Ed just sinking some cans with me cat.

Okay, you've probably given me the clue I needed there.

I think it was Cameron Ling.

Bray?

Maybe go to Jim on this one because Jim called this.

Let's just recap a little bit further, having already spoken to Artie Jones from the Bulldogs of the Bulldogs win last night, a six point win against the Hawks.

Luke Beveridge maintained the rage to speak, so to speak, at halftime when they were troubled by the near five goal lead that the Hawks had at that stage.

And then post-match addressed the big win against the Hawks this way.

It was impressive.

And as Bern has already pointed out, their sixth win by a margin in single figures on the season, it's set them up.

It's allowed them to concentrate now on a higher ladder position at the end of the year.

Justin, with this season you've put together already 11 wins on the trot and even the first game that you did lose, you had a lead of five goals within that game against a quality opponent in Geelong.

It's a good problem to have, but are you finding yourself and is the group finding itself needing to continue to be sure that it's going to be up on a matchday situation and to not have that letdown that often happens after a string of wins?

11 straight.

And as you referenced, Hayden Young back today, but Sorong not.
