Half time.
Western Bulldogs: 10.5.65
Brisbane Lions: 3.10.28
Massive first half for the Dogs and a disappointing one for the Lions who look as though they peaked two weeks ago.
The Bulldogs are dominating the clearances and just look tougher at the contest.
Each time the Lions look like getting back into the match, a silly free kick or missed target will halt their progress.
37 points is a big margin when a side has only scored 28 for the match.
Advantage Dogs, but can they finish it off?

2nd Quarter
1:00
Western Bulldogs: 10.5.65
Brisbane Lions: 3.10.28
After a brilliant first half, Cordy takes a strong contested mark and drills a goal for the Dogs with just 30 seconds left in the quarter.
Cordy has another chance to take a mark with 10 seconds left but drops it and that is the end of the quarter.
Margin 37 points at half time.
Bulldogs all over the Lions.

2nd Quarter
3:00
Western Bulldogs: 9.5.59
Brisbane Lions: 3.10.28
Final three minutes off the quarter and it will be a big one for both teams.
Bulldogs don’t want to give up and of this lead and Brisbane need to start chipping away.
Here is there chance. Ash McGarth takes a mark on a lead and will shoot from 35, slight angle.
Shocking miss. Lions needed that.
14 scoring shots to 13 yet, a 31 point margin.

2nd Quarter
5:00
Western Bulldogs: 9.5.59
Brisbane Lions: 3.9.27
Cheap free kick given away by the Dogs and Aaron Cornelius makes them pay from point blank range.
Brisbane needed that big time but still looking a long way off it.

2nd Quarter
7:00
Western Bulldogs: 9.5.59
Brisbane Lions: 2.9.21
Another goal to the Dogs. They have seen of a challenge from Brisbane and now they are making the most of it.
Higgins in on the act this time, drilling a solid set shot from nearly 50 out. Biggest margin of the game at 38 points.
Brett Goodes having an outstanding debut and looks right at home at AFL level.

2nd Quarter
9:00
Western Bulldogs: 8.5.53
Brisbane Lions: 2.9.21
Cordy to Higgins and lace out to Murphy. Murphy then passes off to Gia who drills the goal from an outstanding set shot on a tough angle.
Extends the margin and gives the Dogs a solid break.
Good mix of youth and experience in that play. Cordy has looked really good early.

2nd Quarter
11:00
Western Bulldogs: 7.4.46
Brisbane Lions: 2.9. 21
Brisbane are coming and the Bulldogs need to try and hold on here.
The ball has been spending longer in the Lions 50 and it is getting harder to get it out.
Bulldogs trying to slow it down a little. Matthew Boyd would be handy right now.

2nd Quarter
13:00
Western Bulldogs: 7.4.46
Brisbane Lions: 2.8.20
Brown gets away with a shove in the back for Brisbane but can’t make it count with his shot hitting the post.
It’s been a very even start to the second quarter from both sides. Next goal is huge for momentum.

2nd Quarter
15:00
Western Bulldogs: 7.4.46
Brisbane Lions: 2.7.19
It is fast stuff here with the Bulldogs getting the answering goal through Dickson.
Huge pack formed about 20 out from the Dogs goal and a Merrett fist went start to Dickson who puts it through the middle.
The Bulldogs needed that after a fast start from Brisbane.
Both teams now trade points.

2nd Quarter
17:00
Western Bulldogs: 6.3.39
Brisbane Lions: 2.6.18
Here come the Lions. Two in three minutes and Rich drills a classy goal from the pocket to close the margin to 20.
At the other end of the ground, the Bulldogs missed their second shot at goal for the quarter.
The kicking yips have switched around….

2nd Quarter
19:00
Western Bulldogs: 6.1.37
Brisbane Lions: 1.6.12
Welcome to Brisbane Brent Moloney and Brisbane are on the board.
Lucky goal with Moloney booting the ball forward from outside 50 and it just kept rolling, all the way across the line.
Exactly what Vossy would have wanted and exactly what the Bulldogs wanted to avoid.

2nd Quarter
20:00
Western Bulldogs: 6.1.37
Brisbane Lions: 0.6.6
The key to that quarter came down to taking chances.
The Lions kept missing and the Bulldogs kept hitting.
The margin may be over five goals but this one is far from over. How long can everything continue to go right for the Bulldogs without Brisbane giving a yelp?
The key stat is in the middle of the ground and the clearances with the Bulldogs leading 11-5.
Expect Michael Voss to fire up his team at the break and Brisbane to give a much better effort in the second term.

Final minute of the quarter.
Rich has the chance to give Brisbane its first but misses a set shot from 55 after earning a free kick.
Brisbane surge forward through Higgins but can’t get anything to go.
The Bulldogs take a 31 point lead into quarter time. Brisbane failed to kick a goal.
I don’t think anyone saw this coming.

Western Bulldogs: 6.1.37
Brisbane Lions: 0.4.4
It is raining goals for the Dogs and this margin is getting into dangerous territory for the Lions.
Adam Cooney joins the party with a lovely set shot from 50 metres out which splits the middle.
Brisbane can’t get anything going and are being smashed everywhere. It’s the complete opposite for the Dogs and everything that can be going right is.

Western Bulldogs: 5.1.31
Brisbane Lions: 0.4.4
Brisbane look like an undisciplined team and the Bulldogs are taking full advantage.
Jason Johannisen adds the first behind to the tally for the Dogs after crumbing a ball inside 50. Ball was coming back, but not enough and just misses.

Western Bulldogs: 5.0.30
Brisbane Lions: 0.4.4
Bulldogs have five in a row. This is a fantastic start. Murphy wins the ball in the middle and drills a pass to Ryan Griffen who takes a solid mark inside 50. Drills the goal like the classy player he is and opens the margin out to 26.

Luke Dahlhaus is absolutely on fire. Wins the ball in the middle of the ground, gets past one Lion and then hits Daniel Giansiracusa who is by him self in the 50. Gia plays on and dribbles another one through.
Opens the margin out to 20 points.

Classic example of one team making the most of its chances. Another goal for the Bulldogs with Luke Dahlhaus running into an open goal and dribbling it through.
The Dogs are up and about early.

The Lions have looked the better side even though they are nine points down. Another miss from a set shot, this time Rohan Bewick missed from 45 metres out directly in front after a free kick for an arm chop.
Just seconds later, the Bulldogs turn the ball over and that results in a rushed behind.

Another miss from a set shot from Brisbane.
The Bulldogs turn the ball over coming out of defence leaving Aaron Cornelius free inside 50. He misses the set shot.
From the kickin the Bulldogs take the ball coast to coast and Ayce Cordy drills a running goal.

Bulldogs kick the first of the match.
Troy Dickson takes a make deep inside forward 50, which was touch by his Brisbane opponent Elliot Yeo. No call from the umpire and Yeo is done 50 metres for a late tackle.
Dickson drills the goal and a fast start for the Dogs. Unlucky for Brisbane.
