The Bulldogs and Warriors face-off at Davidson Oval on Saturday in Warrnambool and District league round two.
Bant felt the Bulldogs' ball movement could have been more straightforward last week despite their 151-point win against Dennington.
"With the wind, I thought we were a little bit indirect," he said.
"It was such a big wind that I thought anywhere from centre half-back could have gone inside-50 but we sort of mucked around a little bit too much around the boundary line."

He was happy with how the group finished the Dogs' match.
"But that's footy, the way we ran out the game with six or seven goals into the breeze in the last quarter, was a good effort," he said.
Another focus for the Bulldogs early in the season is team bonding given they had six new faces in the side in round one.
"Team spirit is something you can't buy and if we get everyone on the same page and everyone's good mates with each other...often a lot of clubs have groups and stuff whereas I just want us to be all inclusive and everyone's good mates with each other," Bant said.
"Country footy is all about enjoyment so let's just try and enjoy it as much as we can."
The Warriors won a 2019 elimination final by 73 points the last time the teams met.
Panmure is still looking for more junior players as the under 18 and under 15 teams had to forfeit last week.
