    News Look at the 2000s sides... they had brutal packs’: The ‘fabric’ Bulldogs desperately miss

    Obvious truth. Forwards win games. Not a lot our stellar backs can do until we have the power up front. 2004, the 80’s, 1995, ‘88 - each team a brutal pack, including a frightening bench. Made us relentless and un-stoppable.
