WESTERN BULLDOGS v ADELAIDE

Saturday 12 July @ Marvel Stadium

This match up could be an Elimination Final or even bigger come September.

Importantly for just this game, both are currently in cracking form and should make for some contest.

One thing the Bulldogs have over most opposition is their scoring potential. They have landed over 115 more points than the nearest Geelong.

The defence needs to make sure it holds its own but that attack will cover over many deficiencies. Against the Kangas they were actually behind late into the first half and even challenged midway through the Third.

But the afterburners went on. North couldn't hold onto Sam Darcy and others may not either.

Match Western Bulldogs Adelaide Ground
Last time they met      9.18 [72] 17.9 [111] Adelaide Oval
Last 10 matches 5 wins 5 wins  
Notes It's been 9 years since they played at the Docklands.
7 of the last 8 meetings have had margins of 34 points or more.
What Adelaide could do is challenge that defence. The Crows are a good attacking side also so expect plenty of points. But they defend well too.

There aren't many big names down back but they combine so well. Those names will be bigger in two months.

A good sign on Sunday was they were challenged by Melbourne and yet came back from near 5 goals. It might be needed come finals.

Under the roof looking for a lot of scoring. Not sold on who wins but a good one to watch. The Dogs need to beat a good side.

Match Selection: Western Bulldogs by 5 points

Suggested Bets: Total Points Over 178.5 @ $1.90
