The Western Bulldogs have four straight victories and are emerging as a genuine AFLW premiership threat, with a 25-point win over Greater Western Sydney on Saturday the latest emphatic statement of their intent this season.

It was the dynamic forward partnership of Isabel Huntington and Bonnie Toogood that inspired the 7.5 (47) to 3.4 (22) win at the VU Whitten Oval, with the pair providing an unstoppable combination in attack to haunt the Giants all afternoon.

Huntington finished with a career-best three goals from five big marks in a powerhouse performance up forward, with Toogood adding three goals herself to act as the perfect foil alongside the former No.1 pick.

Isabel Huntington is the beneficiary of some quick Bulldogs movement through the middle.

Rebecca Beeson (24 disposals, five tackles) typified the Giants' performance, fighting hard all afternoon and perhaps shading the red-hot Ellie Blackburn (17 disposals, five tackles) in the midfield. But the Dogs had too many contributors to ease over the line.

It didn't all go their way, with the Giants controlling the territory battle throughout a tough and tense start to the match. But it was the Bulldogs who were putting on a counter-attacking clinic to ultimately claim the significant early advantage.

After the scores were level at the opening interval, Huntington and Toogood were the beneficiaries of some smooth transitions through the middle of the field to finish the half with a combined five goals and hand their side a 24-point buffer at the main break.

Their stellar work in attack inspired five consecutive goals on either side of half-time, with Huntington soon adding another as the speed and athleticism of Kirsten McLeod (nine disposals, one goal) forced yet more headaches upon the Giants.

It was almost the perfect afternoon for the Western Bulldogs, before the win – and the performance – was marred by a late non-contact knee injury to Deanna Berry that sent a hush over VU Whitten Oval.
