Western Bulldogs vs Carlton Blues Preview

The Dogs led the premiers by 22 points in the season opener last Wednesday night only to be outscored in the second half to go down by 26 points at the final siren.

The Dogs lost few admirers in that contest and they will be looking to bounce back here in round two.

They had more disposals, clearances and tackles than the Dees but fell short in contested marks, especially inside their opponents forward 50.

For the first time in 10 long years, the Blues reigned supreme over bitter rivals Richmond to kick start their premiership season.

Carlton has not started the season 2-0 since 2012 and if new coach Michael Voss can steer the baggers home in this contest, they may about be premiership favourites!

Patrick Cripps led his team well with 30 touches and three goals and more importantly stood up right when the Blues needed him most.

Adam Cerra gathered plenty of football on debut in the navy blue with 30 disposals as did George Hewett (28) who was on debut for the club.

The market has overreacted to Carlton’s impressive round one win and the Dogs can cover a small line on Thursday night.
