LUKE DAHLHAUS STARS FOR BULLDOGS
The Western Bulldogs have unearthed a new cult hero after dreadlocked teenager Luke Dahlhaus cut holes through Adelaide's defences in the Bulldogs' 30-point win.
The second-game player had 18 possessions including six inside-50s and kicked a goal as the Bulldogs overcame a 22-point deficit at quarter-time to win 14.16 (100) to 10.10 (70) on Friday night at Eithad Stadium.
The Bulldogs ended a four-game AFL losing streak and improved their record to 4-8 and will start favourites against the Suns at the Gold Coast next Saturday.
Bulldogs coach Rodney Eade said Dahlhaus, 18, provided some spark to the forward-line.
"He laid (four) tackles and he had six inside-50s," Eade said of the 177cm, 72kg Leopold recruit.
"It's only his second game off the rookie list so it's a real credit to him.
"The fitness level, that's something he has to come to grips with. At this stage he's doing well, we're really pleased with him.
Leopold coach rues costly turnovers
LEOPOLD coach Steve Clark said turnovers at critical moments was the main reason his side was beaten by Bell Park on Saturday.
