The Bulldogs have fallen to the Hawks, going down by 22 points which sees them remain outside of the top eight.

Bulldogs defender Rory Lobb joined 3AW Football post-game and said his side “didn’t match the level” of the Hawks for most of the contest.

“We are probably not where we want to be at this time of the year,” Lobb said.
