Mick Malthouse says the Western Bulldogs are doing what the Power did so well last year.<\/h3>\n

\u201cIf you said to me who do they mimic most of all, it\u2019s Port from last year,\u201d Mick told Rowey and Bicks on FIVEAA.<\/p>\n

He said Port Adelaide didn\u2019t have the same \u201cfanaticism to get back\u201d as they did last year.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey still run, but the didn\u2019t back as much this year.<\/p>\n

\u201cI couldn\u2019t believe the number of times when there was a loose football that both players would collide. There was no system of \u2018I\u2019ll get it, you protect\u2019.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s haunted them all year,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Malthouse said the Bulldogs were replicating Port Adelaide from 2014.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey were massively great last year at cutting sides apart with quick run, but then they rebounded.\u201d<\/p>\n
