Western Bulldogs vs GWS GIANTS Preview

Finals hopes hang in the balance when the Western Bulldogs face the in-form GWS Giants at Marvel Stadium on Thursday night. The Bulldogs reignited their campaign with a ruthless 93-point demolition of Essendon, yet other results keep them outside the eight. With only four games remaining—and Gold Coast holding a game in hand—Luke Beveridge’s men have no margin for error.

The Giants, meanwhile, are surging towards September on the back of six straight wins, including a stunning fightback against Sydney. Trailing by 35 points, they stormed home to prevail by 44, underlining their trademark pressure and spread. But they’ll be missing skipper Toby Greene, suspended for a week for striking.

With GWS riding a wave of momentum and the Bulldogs clinging to their finals chances, this clash under the Marvel roof shapes as a season-defining contest for both sides.
