Western Bulldogs vs Brisbane Lions Preview

Brisbane has maintained impressive form this season, with Lachie Neale setting the standard in the midfield. The Lions outclassed Richmond last week, even while appearing to ease off at times, and they continue to dominate at stoppages. While the Bulldogs can be potent in attack, they’ve struggled to handle Brisbane’s relentless pressure and slick ball movement, ranking poorly in both marks and kicks per game. Given the Lions’ midfield dominance, they’re well-placed to secure a win by 1–39 points, likely proving too strong for a Bulldogs side that will need a significant lift to stay competitive.
