The season basically goes on the line for the Lions, and to a lesser extent, the Bulldogs in a
mammoth Friday night clash. Brisbane are coming off the bye, having a week to lick their
wounds after bogey team Hawthorn got the better of them at the same venue a fortnight ago.
The Bulldogs’ forward line is decimated, missing Aaron Naughton, Sam Darcy and Cody
Weightman. Rhylee West was able to overturn his suspension at the tribunal, but the
Bulldogs fortunes will rest on their midfield stars.
TIP: Western Bulldogs by 11 points, Marcus Bontempelli to have 30 or more possessions
