After their brilliant win in horrible conditions, the Western Bulldogs are back under the roof of Marvel Stadium against the Geelong Cats on Saturday night. Join The Roar for live scores and a blog of the match from 7:25pm (AEST).
Last Saturday night the Western Bulldogs played the wet and windy conditions best to convincingly beat Port Adelaide by 25-points.
Jack Macrae and Marcus Bontempelli led the disposal count for the visiting side, who had their first interstate victory of the year.
Josh Schache scored three goals and his team 10, kicking accurately for goal despite the weather.
Geelong is also coming off a victory, over the other South Australian team, the Adelaide Crows.
Geelong’s positive response after another woeful post-bye performance started slow, but picked up in the second half to run out 27-point winners at GMHBA Stadium.
Mark Blicavs moved into the ruck to duel with Adelaide’s Reily O’Brien, Jed Bews continued to shut down livewire forward Eddie Betts, while Joel Selwood moved inside and paired well with Tim Kelly in midfield.
It was an inspired second half from the Cats, who were under pressure early in the contest.
On Monday, Jordan Clark was the latest Cat to get a NAB Rising Star nod, joining Charlie Constable and Gryan Miers as the third Geelong player to receive a nomination in 2019.
Clark’s 23 disposal (eight contested) game was clean, poised and also included a goal.
The Western Bulldogs have made one change for the Saturday night clash, Caleb Daniel is out with an injury sustained in the win against Port Adelaide.
The small defender will miss the next three to four weeks with a hamstring injury.
Toby McLean has been recalled to the senior side after a best on ground performance in the VFL.
Geelong have stuck with the same 22 who beat the Crows last weekend.
The last time these teams met was earlier this year in round nine, where Geelong kicked away to win by 44-points at GMHBA Stadium.
Hayden Crozier celebrates his 100th AFL game this weekend.
After 69 games at the Fremantle Dockers, Crozier moved home to Victoria in the 2017 trade period and debuted for the Dogs in round six, 2018.
Prediction
The Western Bulldogs have had a good couple of weeks, a close loss to Collingwood and then a win over the Power. Can they step their game up again when they take on the ladder-leading Cats?
Geelong were able to mix things up last week to get the win and their young guns are key to this, they’ll remain two games clear with a win on Saturday evening.
Geelong Cats by 19 points.
