Western Bulldogs captain Brad Johnson says this year’s current crop of players can be better than side which reached the preliminary finals in the late 1990s.

With the Bulldogs lying in third at the mid-way point of the season with just one loss of the board, Johnson says this year’s team is one of the best he’s played in.

“It would be right up there without a doubt,” he told sportal.com.au.

But he believes the side which has produced the Dogs best start to a season in 62 years will only improve.

“We had some good sides in the late 1990’s but we have a lot younger side now so the future is very bright,” Johnson said.
