Show Preview
The Western Bulldogs will look to continue their perfect start to the season against a Brisbane Lions side looking for win number two. Stay up to date with their AFL clash with live scores on The Roar from 1:35pm (AEST).
It was a hard-fought opening fortnight for the Doggies, seeing off Collingwood by 16 points and the Eagles by seven, before they enjoyed a leisurely Good Friday against North Melbourne. The 128-point obliteration was a confidence-booster, but it’s back to business for Luke Beveridge’s men as they come up against a reigning preliminary finalist in a desperate situation.
Brisbane avoided an 0-3 start by the narrowest of margins after Zac Bailey’s goal after the siren got them over the line against Collingwood. But the Lions were still well below the form that’s taken them to two consecutive top four finishes and are in a tough spot now facing their third match away from home in a row. A 1-3 record wouldn’t be game over, but stealing a win today would be huge.
The Lions got up by 24 points in last year’s meeting, their second win in a row over the Bulldogs. However, the Dogs have won the last five games in a row between these sides in Victoria – including their only meeting in Ballarat in 2019.
