Western Bulldogs vs West Coast Eagles Preview
A trip to Ballarat proved beneficial for Luke Beveridge and the Bulldogs following a disappointing performance against Melbourne. They rebounded with a convincing 48-point victory over Gold Coast, highlighted by Cody Weightman’s six-goal haul.
In contrast, West Coast continues to struggle, compounded by key forward Oscar Allen’s injury sidelining him for two months. Their 65-point loss to the Giants underscores their offensive woes, ranking last in points scored per game.
While some speculate about the significance of the Bulldogs’ win versus the Suns, their upcoming match against West Coast presents an opportunity for redemption.
Although improvements around the ruck are necessary, the Bulldogs’ cleaner handball chains and disposal efficiency bode well for a potential percentage boost.
