Western Bulldogs ruckman Jordan Roughead will consult a specialist in Melbourne on Sunday as he fights to overcome an eye injury ahead of the AFL grand final.

Roughead left the Dogs’ pulsating preliminary final win over Greater Western Sydney in the second quarter and did not return after he was hit in the right eye by the ball.

However, the Bulldogs are confident Roughead and Matt Suckling, who missed the GWS clash with an Achilles injury, will be fit to face Sydney in Saturday’s premiership decider.
