They're the team no one wants to face.
They're in seventh spot, have belief, momentum, and the fast handball style of 2016.
And club legend Bob Murphy thinks the Western Bulldogs have what it takes to win this year's premiership.
This week on The Age Real Footy Podcast, Murphy joins Michael Gleeson, Jake Niall and Caroline Wilson to look ahead to September and the teams that could do the most damage in finals.
Is there a real "dynasty team" this September? How far can the Lions go? Can the Eagles win from fifth? And how much of an impact has the debate around home finals had on Geelong's premiership favouritism?
Also this week, Alistair Clarkson's contribution to the make-up of the eight, despite the Hawks not featuring, and whether the club's recent run of form will have an impact on Stephen Coniglio's decision to leave or stay at GWS.
And we look back at the teams that didn't make finals: the biggest disappointments, what change could come where, the club that has been paying way under the salary cap and how that club can turn things around, and who is happiest out of the Carlton-Adelaide pick trade.
All this plus Ross Lyon's football future, whether Jaidyn Stephenson's VFL return passes the pub test and much more.
