The equation is simple for the Western Bulldogs as they head to GMHBA Stadium to face a weakened Geelong: win, or their finals hopes will be officially over. Join The Roar for live scores from 7:25pm (AEST).
Last week’s shock loss to West Coast has left the Bulldogs’ September fate out of their own hands: to make the finals, they will need to best the Cats and hope Carlton defeat GWS on Sunday.
Their chances have been boosted by the Cats losing Jeremy Cameron, Tom Hawkins and a host of others to injury and suspension as they look ahead to 2024 having had their own finals hopes ended by losing to St Kilda last week; though the Dogs will be missing midfielders Jack Macrae and Bailey Smith themselves.
Venue: GHMBA Stadium, Geelong
First bounce: 7:25pm (AEST)
TV: Channel 7, Fox Footy
Streaming: Kayo Sports
Betting: Cats $2.20, Bulldogs $1.67 – odds via PlayUp
