North Melbourne Kangaroos vs Western Bulldogs Preview
The Good Friday double-header kicks off with a battle between the worst side in the competition and one of the most exciting.
So far North Melbourne has been on the receiving end of two blowout losses to Port and the Suns to start the season, and it goes without saying the Roos aren’t about to find this game any easier.
The Dogs, meanwhile, won an instant classic last week against West Coast to firmly asset themselves in the Premiership conversation.
Stacked from top to bottom, Luke Beveridge’s side has been a joy to watch this year as they continue to pull teams apart through the midfield.
Not surprisingly, the Dogs have opened as the -41.5 favourites in betting – which is the largest line we’ve seen so far this season.
Last time these two sides met the Dogs rattled off an impressive 49-point win over North, and based on everything we’ve seen so far, it wouldn’t shock if this one gets out of hand in a hurry.
North leads the league in inside 50s allowed to opponents this year – a recipe for disaster against a Dogs side that has shown no trouble getting the ball forward from stoppages.
Upsets do look likely this weekend, but not here.
