**Lions’ Dayne Zorko Rates Western Bulldogs as the AFL’s Top Team**

Despite the Lions’ impressive nine-game winning streak and strong performance this season, Dayne Zorko, a veteran of the Brisbane team, believes that the Western Bulldogs are currently setting the standard in the AFL.

Brisbane’s recent dominant 85-point victory over St Kilda has brought them within two points of the Sydney Swans, who currently lead the ladder but have struggled recently, including a heavy 112-point loss to Port Adelaide.

However, Zorko has praised the Western Bulldogs, who are currently in seventh place but have shown significant form with wins over Melbourne, Sydney, Geelong, and Carlton. Zorko described the Bulldogs as the “hottest team” in the competition and acknowledged their strong performance and depth.

“Their forwards are performing exceptionally well,” Zorko told SENQ’s Breakfast with Pat and Heals. “They have significant threats up front, and Marcus Bontempelli, who is a top contender for the Brownlow Medal, is in outstanding form.”

Zorko also noted that the Bulldogs’ performance is reminiscent of their successful 2016 finals campaign and sees them as the current benchmark in the league.

Looking ahead, Zorko’s Lions will face the GWS Giants, who have also been in excellent form with a five-game winning streak. The Giants are positioned just two points behind Brisbane on the ladder. Zorko recalled the Giants’ impressive 54-point victory over Brisbane in April, acknowledging their strong performance in that match.
