- What could go wrong?
With a strong record at the venue and a powerful attacking setup, the Dogs look well placed to control this Round 1 matchup against the Giants.
How this game shapes up
The Bulldogs opened the season in style with a comeback win over the reigning premiers Brisbane.
After trailing by 26 points in the third quarter, the Dogs rallied late and secured victory in a thrilling finish.
Marvel Stadium has long been one of their strongest venues.
The Bulldogs have won 15 of their last 19 games at the ground and average well over 100 points when playing there.
GWS arrive after an impressive win over Hawthorn, proving they remain a dangerous side despite injury setbacks earlier in the season.
But Marvel has not been a happy hunting ground for the Giants and recent meetings strongly favour the Bulldogs.
Best Bets
Western Bulldogs -20.5
The Bulldogs have dominated recent meetings with GWS and their scoring power at Marvel makes them extremely difficult to contain.
Sam Darcy 3+ Goals
Darcy has proven he can dominate this matchup, kicking five goals the last time these teams met and continuing to grow as a key forward threat.
What could go wrong?
GWS still possess plenty of midfield talent and if their clearance work gets on top early they can limit the Bulldogs’ scoring opportunities.
And if the Giants maintain the clinical finishing they showed in their opener, they may be able to keep the margin closer than expected.
Verdict
The Bulldogs control the contest at Marvel, covering the line while Sam Darcy kicks multiple goals and Tom Liberatore racks up disposals.
