One look at the betting market here – Geelong $1.03 and Western Bulldogs $12.00 – with 57.5 point start, tells the story in nutshell!
The Bulldogs recorded a comprehensive victory over the Lions (whose only win since has been a 2 point victory of the Gold Coast Suns) in the opening round this year but since, have lost by margins of 28, 67 and last week against Adelaide, 52 points.
Now they meet Geelong who despite having met Hawthorn, Collingwood and Sydney in three of their past four matches, have yet to taste defeat this year.
Bulldogs fans will be watching this game with hands over their eyes as it could very well turn ugly.
Going on their last two loses and the opposition they met, reckon the Cats might just cover the line here.
