Western Bulldogs vs Geelong Cats Preview

The Dogs and the Cats have played out some thrillers in recent years, and one look at Friday’s market suggests we might be in for another.

Geelong has won three of its last five after disposing of the Crows last week by 42 points, a game that saw Tom Stewart rack up 40 disposals and Jeremy Cameron kick four goals.

The Bulldogs, meanwhile, have clawed their way back into the eight thanks to a triple-digit win over West Coast, but they look to have a fight on their hands with Richmond and Collingwood breathing down their neck.

The last two games between these sides have been decided by no more than two goals, and given what’s at stake, it wouldn’t be surprising if this one goes right down to the wire.

Bailey Smith is set to return this week from the flu, and his inclusion will only help strengthen a Bulldogs attack that looked lethal last week with Cody Weightman and Aaron Naughton leading the charge.

Geelong’s forward line speaks for itself, and if you combine the two, we look to have all the makings for a high-scoring game.

Four of the last five between the Cats and the Dogs have gone Over the Total, while the roof on at Marvel should provide a nice atmosphere for some free-flowing footy.
