Chapter 1: What recent performance highlights are discussed for the Bulldogs?
Brilliant stuff, dogs. Nick Caulfield in a set. Pumps it inside, 4 and 50. Riley West just needs a bounce. He's going to get it. There it is. Has he kicked a goal? Doesn't matter. Dogs have come from nowhere, and that is one of the finest wins among many under Luke Beveridge's Kenya. Up towards Dawson, gets to the front, takes a great mark.
Had to make two and did it just outside the 50 for Adelaide. He cuts in board. He goes for it. He gives it everything and takes a wonderful goal.
Sets the scene for a very big Thursday night clash between the Western Bulldogs, the Adelaide Crows. No one better to set us up for round 14 than the number two. He's in the studio, Corey Mobilio from Champion Data. Corsa, welcome. Thanks for having me back. Bulldogs three weeks ago were precariously placed. Their form had wavered. They had big names out. Tim English wasn't playing.
Looked like they were in a bit of trouble. They've gone beating Demons by three. They beat the Pies by four. And they beat the Hawks by six to get their season back on track.
Yeah, they're back on track. I think tonight, under the lid, quick deck. It's going to be an interesting game. I think I'm really looking forward to this one tonight. Just with the Bulldogs, I think tonight, the heavy emphasis on their turnover game. And they've just been a bit muzzled in that part of the ground across the last six weeks. You look at them last Friday in particular.
Their clearance game got going in that second half.

Chapter 2: How has the Bulldogs' turnover game been affected recently?
And more specifically, from a forward 50 stoppage, they scored five goals in the second half from forward 50 stoppage. You're lucky to get that over a fortnight, let alone a half of football. So for me tonight, quick deck. They've got their key personnel back. Last six weeks, second worst side of putting an intercept onto the scoreboard. Why is that? Yeah, it's funny. Bailey Dale's going, okay.
Yeah, they're all going quite well. I think the clearance stuff is when they get going, they're so powerful from clearance. And I'll explain why I'm kind of centering the chat around the intercept game because Adelaide are such a hard side to crack defensively. And we saw that last week against the Cats.
You look at them across the season, they're the hardest side to put a clearance onto the scoreboard against. Right, right. So if you think about the Bulldogs' strengths, it's their clearance game. So I think tonight, like I said, under the lid, fast deck, really putting a clear emphasis on the Bulldogs and their turnover game and getting that bite back. With Adelaide, really good behind the ball.
We saw that last year. One individual behind the ball for Adelaide, which I want to kind of drill on, is Josh Worrell. All-Australian squad member last year. I think he's going better compared to last year. So it's the old expectation versus reality chat. The ball use side of his game has significantly improved.
I look at him and if you're in the Bulldogs four walls, you just cut the head off straight away and go, Will Lewis, you're going to take care of Josh Worrell. He's so important. Do you reckon he'll go to him? I think so. You look at what Lewis has done in previous weeks. It's been Lever, Jeremy Howe and James Cicely. So he's gone to that keen acceptor behind the ball.
I don't think he's getting a lot of credit, Worrell, for the season that he's having. And like I said, he was an All-Australian member, a squad member last year.
Love it. Calls are setting us up. That's the game tonight. He's got his big categories coming up after the break. Just a shout out for the Mavericks. Jamie Lee, not sure.

Stats, you can use them or you cannot use them for the audience out there. They are becoming an important part of what the game is and how you interpret it, but then you can interpret it. You might just trust your eye. We love having Corey in. He's going to unpack some other big talking points straight after this.

Chapter 3: What challenges does Adelaide present to opposing teams?
You're so good. That's from Jakey out there in Sunbury. You are just starting to win them over. Hang on. Where do you come from? Sunbury.
Wow.
I have a suspicion of who that might be as well.
Hey, I just asked him about the Giants. He wasn't buying. He said, no, I'm not buying. What about you?
All right, ride with me here. We're dubbing them the end of financial year Giants. Let's judge them after June. Okay. And there's a couple of ways to break this down. If you look at their profile in the early stages of the year and in the past, They're a bit of a harder side to get a read on because they don't go to NG a lot. They travel. 2026 in particular, they'll smash by injury.
So, you know, you're looking in more recent rounds, Bedford comes back into the side, Taylor behind the ball, Brent Daniels, you know, Cadman, Hogan, listening to him, to you guys before about Hogan. So, I think what we're seeing now and their punishment profile is really starting to turn off the back of key personnel returning.
So you look at them after round six, 16th for scores per inside 50, they're now second. Their accuracy's gone a complete 360. Turnover game in better shape. I think it's really important. from a GWS perspective, you've just got to go 2-0. Is it Sunday this week against St Kilda?

Chapter 4: How is Josh Worrell's performance impacting the Adelaide defense?
Fascinating game for the winner and the fallout for the loser. Then they roll into Carlton, and then they fall into a three-game stretch of Hawthorne, Freeman, and Geelong. The end of financial year Giants. Let's judge them after June.
I love it. A little bit of advice. The EFS Giants.
The EFS Giants.
Yeah.
I agree with what you're saying, but the question about the Giants was whether or not they are a contender for the flag, and I don't have them in that category just yet. I watch ā this bike was really good last weekend. Sam Deconing?
Yeah, really good. So I think we'll call him the rainy day Chris, Chris Scott, and you look at ā The magnet that he's been able to pull this year in any given game, in any given quarter. So Jeremy Cameron to a wing, Max Holmes to halfback, Jack Henry forward, Dangerfield we saw last week at a centre bounce. The one that we can throw into the mix is Deconning going into a ruck.
And I think it's a really big asset for him.
He said it was his best game in the ruck, Chris, last week.
Yeah, and it was his second highest rated game of his career. And that was in the RUC. 16 contested possessions, 11 clearances. Whatever they roll out tomorrow night, we'll wait and see. But just kind of them as a whole, just watch and just look at these little magnet tinkerings that they do.

Chapter 5: What are the current statistics on the Fremantle Footy Club?
I do black caviar. Do you want black caviar? Yes, please.
So that's a sprinter. Prior to Jenny, get longer ace, if you don't mind. Now I'm really going to cop it. Have a good weekend, Corey. Thanks, guys.
Cheers. Have a good one.
We will take a break here on our breakfast program and welcome Gerard Waitley to the show.
