Punters are also jumping off the Bulldogs in droves with the TAB pushing the club’s premiership odds out to $15.

The Dogs were as short as $5.50 after Round 2 and were $7.50 following their 40-point win over St Kilda in Round 10.

Meanwhile, footy fans remain confident Richmond will make a return to September action.

Over 80 per cent of voters selected the Tigers to play finals in 2017 despite the club’s horror record in close games.
