WESTERN Bulldogs forward Daniel Giansiracusa believes his younger teammates are responsible for the recent turnaround in the club's fortunes.

The Dogs have won their past four games with players such as Luke Dahlhaus (five games since round 12), Andrew Hooper (two games since round 15) and a rejuvenated Liam Jones making an impression in the forward line.

Other young players such as Sam Reid, Jayden Schofield, Christian Howard and Ed Barlow have also added to the energy levels, while Jarrad Grant has shown renewed effort over the past two weeks. 

Giansiracusa said the enthusiasm and vigour from the youthful inclusions had been contagious.

"We've got a few guys back and we're playing some good footy, and I think we're enjoying playing with each other and the energy the younger guys are bringing has probably revitalised the older guys a bit," he said on Thursday.

"To see Dahlhaus and Hooper, and Jones is starting to get a bit more comfortable out there, it's quite exciting.

"We've won four games in a row and hopefully we can keep the momentum going."

Giansiracusa said the 27-point win over Carlton had been satisfying and the team hoped to take confidence from the fact they beat an opposition that had been placed third leading into last round.

He also admitted the line up had benefitted from the return to form of Adam Cooney, and the fact it was more settled than earlier in the season.

"The guys who have come back in and are playing … to have a Brownlow medallist come in and play the way he is gives everyone a boost," he said.

"The forward line we've had over the last five or six weeks has been the most settled it's been in the whole year.

"We're starting to figure out how we play with each other in terms of the way we move and stuff like that, and I think that's all over the ground.

"The backline is fairly settled and you see when teams are winning, they don't tend to change their side too much."

Jones spent two weeks in the VFL back in April but has shown improvement in recent weeks in his level of work rate and his contested marking ability, having taken eight over the past fortnight.

Giansiracusa said his movement had been his biggest improvement.

"The whole forward line is starting to move a lot more, and if you constantly move, a bit of footy karma comes in and you tend to get the footy or you create opportunities for your teammates," he said.

"That's all we ask him to do. We don't ask him to have it 20 times and take 15 marks a game.

"We expect him to compete and that's what he's doing, and get his work rate up, and the benefits are showing for him, and hopefully not only him but Jarrad Grant and all of us, myself, Barry Hall … we can all get on the end of a few.

"I think it was a pretty even performance on the weekend from the whole side."

He also backed Tom Williams to stand strong against North Melbourne forward Drew Petrie after a "super" few months where the former No.6 draft selection had benefitted from a consistent string of games and a more mature outlook.
