Two of the AFL’s most in-form sides meet in Ballarat when the Western Bulldogs take on Adelaide. Join The Roar for live scores from 2:10pm (AEST).
The Bulldogs have won six of their last seven to surge into the eight after a poor start to 2023, and with Marcus Bontempelli in Brownlow Medal-winning form, have suddenly moved into premiership calculations.
Their stingy defence will be tested against a red-hot Adelaide attack which, despite the absence of Riley Thilthorpe and Taylor Walker due to injury and a surprise rest, still boasts a fierce array of weapons.

Yea true but our forward line is a work in progress still very raw even thou we are the oldest club our backline is on the older side which makes sense our backs have only conceded 71 against & in the prime cut dynasty. Forwards with Nort , Jamarra , Weightman, Darcy & Arthur Jones all under 23. Forward scores av 78 very poor but it’s our game play at moment playing a contested bull at every play across the ground. Bruising contest for the opposition & with this game plan all our games we most likely be under 24 points either way from now on. Adelaide were missing a couple of great players hard to replace mate.

The only thing you guys missed was a fill ya bags with percentage

I disagree. We had that bad game a month ago. In my my that game was the quota. This game we should've been on for and we weren't. We need to beat 3 teams around or above us before I'm convinced. We were lucky your radar was off.

Yea it was a horrible day for the Crows but as Nicks suggested it was the upper cut your lads needed. The dogs handball chain was outstanding it definitely got your lads in a spin. Onwards & upwards mate for both our clubs :thumbup:
