Brisbane’s final home game of what has been an eventful season is against a rejuvenated Western Bulldogs.

Brisbane is coming off a comfortable 60 points win last week over GWS, their second win in the past month but missing from their side this week will be key-midfielder Simon Black who is serving a one game suspension.

Coupled with Jonathon Brown’s injury, the Lions are missing some key players.

The Bulldogs boast three wins from their past four games including victories over Carlton, West Coast and last week, a 17 point win over Adelaide (131 – 114).

The game was in the balance heading into the final term but the Bulldogs, displaying new belief in themselves, finished strongly and full of running.

It was the highest score registered by the Bulldogs this year, surpassing their previous mark of 127 which coincidentally, was set against Brisbane back in round 1.

Whilst there’s nothing at stake bar pride for these two teams, they’ve both indicated in the past few weeks that they are committed to finishing the season to their best of their ability which will make this clash a good one.

Given the recent form of the Bulldogs, they represent great value at the $2.50
