The Western Bulldogs season is on the line this Friday night. Four points and 10 percent ahead of Carlton, the fourth placed Doggies take on the second placed Geelong.
The last time they met, captain Brad Johnson missed a tight shot for goal after the siren that would’ve given them the chocolates. This time, a win can give the Doggies a top four finish.
Carlton and Adelaide are set to pounce.
If each defeat their opponents this week, then Carlton takes on Adelaide in Round 22 in a battle for fifth or perhaps a battle for fourth.
And for the loser, there is the prospect of being overtaken by the Brisbane Lions and having to face them the next week at the Gabba.
The Doggies in Round 22 have the tough task of facing Collingwood. They must win one of their last two to survive in the top four on the buffer of their percentage.
There’s some huge games coming up in these last two weeks of the season. And that’s ignoring the teams currently in eighth to eleventh who really are making up the numbers, yet includes a side who just defeated St Kilda.
Go figure.
