Show Preview
The Western Bulldogs face a crucial trip north to take on Sydney as Round 18 begins. Join The Roar for live scores from 7:20pm (AEST).
The Dogs could slip out of the top eight entirely with a loss here, but a victory would leave them sitting in equal-fourth for the night at least. The stakes couldn’t be higher for Luke Beveridge’s men.
The Swans, meanwhile, have slumped to 15th in what is becoming a nightmare year following their 2022 grand final breakthrough, but they are still just two wins and percentage outside the eight, so a late run could well salvage their season.
The Dogs have lost under-pressure star Bailey Smith to illness, while a statement has been made by dropping underperforming recruit Rory Lobb, with young father-son Sam Darcy back in the team for the first time since Round 2.
The Swans will be missing defender Jake Lloyd due to concussion as one of four changes made, with ruckman Tom Hickey a surprise omission.
