Western Bulldogs vs West Coast Eagles Preview
There might not be a more frustrating team in the competition right now than the Western Bulldogs.
A win over the Tigers two weeks ago appeared to put the Doggies back on track, but as we’ve seen before, things quickly came undone in Launceston last Sunday with an upset loss to the Hawks.
Making the most of their opportunities inside the attacking 50 is an ongoing problem, but after losing the uncontested possession count by a huge margin last week, Luke Beveridge has a few problem areas to clean up.
As most clubs have found, a game against West Coast can do wonders for confidence, not that the Dogs need any reminder.
A 101-point win over West Coast last year set the tone midseason – the same margin the Eagles lost by last week to Fremantle in the Derby.
Losing Tom Liberatore to concussion hurts, but if the Dogs can avoid the silly mistakes that plagued them last week, they should be winning big.
