GWS Giants vs Western Bulldogs Preview
The Giants are under quite a bit of pressure heading into this clash, losing three of their last four games, theyre being found out more than theyd probably like.
The Dogs are a walking mystery, and its not often that a team can win by 100 points and still be considered as rated outside the top eight.
This week produces yet another challenge against a top team, and there is quite a lot to lose for both, with another Dogs loss pushing them further away from the eight, and a loss for the Giants taking them away from the top four.
The Giants started strong against the Bombers, capitalising on turnover and finding avenues into the corridor to penetrate inside 50, but were shut down when the Bombers closed off their space.
The Bulldogs did it comfortably against Richmond, although quite a different task at hand, with a big emphasis needing to be placed on defensive pressure.
The Dogs have conceded 109, 95, 96, 95, and 98 in their five losses, which is their glaring issue, even whilst dominating most stats by the end of the game.
Theyre coming up against a dangerous mix of talls and smalls, and whilst they might break even in the midfield, how will they limit the Giants inside 50 efficiency, which they sit second in for marks inside 50 per game.
When the Bulldogs start crumbling, it can go downhill quickly, and with a pretty poor pressure performance the week prior from the Giants, theyll be raring to turn their form around.
