Western Bulldogs vs West Coast Eagles Preview
The Dogs pushed the Cats all the way in Round 15, but stumbled late. A game outside the Top 8 (and now $2.63 chances to finish inside there come season’s end), an upset here could prove season-defining for Luke Beveridge. The loss to Geelong came at an even bigger cost when both Easton Wood and Laitham Vandermeer both went down with hamstring injuries. Zaine Cordy and Taylor Duryea are both chances to return.
After a dominant mid-season patch the Eagles have somewhat flatlined in recent weeks following the loss to Richmond and a relatively scrappy win over the Dons. Their primary goal in the final weeks of the home-and-away season is to seal a spot in the Top 4 to earn the double-chance. A win here would propel them inside and, with games against St Kilda and North Melbourne to come, would be odds-on to stay there. Josh Kennedy returns from a concussion while Elliot Yeo is still some weeks away.
