Western Bulldogs vs Fremantle Dockers Preview
One of the hardest jobs as a footy fan is who to tip in a game that involves the Western Bulldogs.
From beating the Pies the week prior, to getting a belting from the Lions, theyre consistently unreliable, but its been the tale of their year for maybe the last three years.
In the context of the top four, this is a must-win for the Dockers, who dismantled Melbourne two weeks prior before their bye, and showed they do have offensive flare to really punish dominant sides.
The Bulldogs are still in the finals hunt and will most likely remain in it for the rest of the year, its whether they can string together some form to make a run.
The Dogs inability to defend the corridor and limit the Lions entry inside 50 was some of their poorest work, and its been their area of weakness all year.
Good news for Fremantle, that has been the area theyve excelled in, spreading the ground and opening up their forward line to get good looks.
Both sides sit top two for disposal efficiency in the competition and have been prominent with their composure inside the middle third.
It would be interesting to see the Dogs take a contested approach to the game and challenge the Dockers to move it with pace under pressure, thats their best way to stir the pot when things arent going their way.
Defensive setup can win this game for the Dockers, who restricted Melbourne to 42 points and lead the competition for points against with an average of only 67.5 points conceded per game.
Fresh off a bye and against a Bulldogs team that doesnt seem to stand for too much, across four quarters they should find a way to win.
