Killer instinct, momentum and belief - theyre prized intangibles that teams spend years trying to develop.A heady fortnight in the AFL finals has given the Western Bulldogs a powerful mix of all three.After impressive wins over West Coast and Hawthorn, the Bulldogs now head to Spotless Stadium for Saturdays preliminary final against the Giants.While GWS beat them at the same venue earlier this season and will start favourites, playing on the road is no problem for the Bulldogs.They had big away wins this year against Port Adelaide and Sydney and the clash with the Eagles in Perth earlier this month was hailed as one of the greatest finals performance in club history ... until the Hawthorn match topped it.The belief in this group is one of the most powerful things Ive seen, midfielder Jack Macrae said.Coming into West Coast, obviously no-one really gave us a chance and last week even, no-one really gave us a chance again.The Bulldogs showed their killer instinct in the third term against the Hawks.After recovering from 23 points down in the second term, they put the three-time defending premiers to the sword after half time.Obviously the third quarter is known as the premiership quarter ... once we got a sniff, we really took advantage of that, Macrae said.Its probably something we failed to do throughout the year in some games - put our good work onto the scoreboard.It was pretty pleasing we managed to do that.The Bulldogs ended the regular season with an upset loss to Fremantle.But the pre-finals bye, coupled with the West Coast and Hawthorn wins means they head to western Sydney with a head of steam.The momentum behind the club is really powerful at the moment, Macrae saidIt seems like weve peaked at the right time and weve really hit form in the last two weeks.The brand that weve been playing is probably the best weve played all year, which is pretty exciting.We dont really have to manufacture any extra energy - obviously its a prelim and the aim is to make a grand final.Macrae admitted he had to be mindful about keeping his emotions in check this week ahead of Saturdays clash.You have to be careful not to play the game out too early and be buggered once the game rolls around, he said.

The Duleep Trophy (named after KS Duleepsinhji) was started by the Indian board in 1961-62 as a zonal rather than a state first-class competition. The original format was that five teams, drawn from the five zones - North Zone, South Zone, East Zone, West Zone and Central Zone - played each other on a knock-out basis. From 1993-94 the competition converted to a league format. In 2002-03 the zonal teams were reeplaced by five new sides - Elite A, Elite B, Elite C, Plate A and Plate B but this lasted for only one season as it was felt that the new teams lacked a sense of identity.dddddddddddd From 2003-04 the zones returned and an overseas guest side was included. The first was England A. ' ' '
