Show Preview
A group of stars return as the Western Bulldogs play host to the Brisbane Lions at Marvel Stadium to open the third round of the AFL season. Join The Roar for live scores, coverage and analysis from 7:20pm (AEDT).
The Lions were almost run down by a Demons side out to prove a point last week, while the Bulldogs are yet to get off the mark this season after consecutive losses.
Adam Treloar and Rory Lobb return to the Bulldogs team, passing their respective fitness tests throughout the week after missing the 51-points loss to the Saints last Saturday night.
Sam Darcy has had a slow start to the season, and he will make way for Lobb; while Taylor Duryea will be missing due to illness, with Treloar taking his spot in the 22. The Bulldogs have also dropped Toby McLean and Rhylee West who will make way for Jason Johannisen and debutant Arthur Jones.
The Lions will be missing veteran Daniel Rich off the half-back line tonight, but he will be replaced by the classy Keidean Coleman. Coleman has recently recovered from concussion symptoms and will play a vital role for the Lions tonight.
The Lions had an evening to remember last Friday with a stellar victory over fellow premiership favourites Melbourne. They came away with an 11-point win after the lights went out at the Gabba in exceptionally unique and bizarre circumstances.
Tonight, I am most looking forward to the midfield battle between these two sides, and to see if the tall forward line of the Bulldogs are able to stabilise and lead their team towards their first win of the season.
I am tipping the Bulldogs by less than a kick.
