The Raiders Flegg side continue to fly high at the top of the ladder, where they meet a minor premiership contender in the Dogs on Saturday.
After a round bye, the Raiders will be refreshed and ready to lift their form as they approach the 2024 finals series.
They run into a Bulldogs side who have won seven of their last eight matches, looking to continue their impressive run of form coming into finals.
This match sets up to be a cracker as two sides get a good look at each other in what should be an early finals preview.
