Western Bulldogs vs North Melborune Kangaroos Preview

The Bulldogs’ complete no-show against the Crows last week could have lingering effects, but for now, Luke Beveridge’s focus must be on keeping his team locked in against a North Melbourne side capable of springing a surprise. The Dogs’ wayward kicking was a recurring issue, with Marcus Bontempelli and Adam Treloar the only shining lights in an otherwise disappointing outing.

North Melbourne fans are also reeling after a heartbreaking five-point loss to West Coast, where they dominated key stats but faltered late, allowing three goals in the final three minutes. Nick Larkey’s quiet game compounded their woes.

With a crucial clash against the Giants looming next week, the Bulldogs need to treat this as a “get right” game—one they simply can’t afford to lose. However, given their inconsistency, if they somehow drop this match, it might suggest they don’t deserve to play finals anyway.
