Greater Western Sydney Giants vs Western Bulldogs Preview
The Giants v Dogs clash in Canberra this Friday night is set to be a beauty to kick-start the round.
This is not a manufactured rivalry.
Both clubs representing their respective metropolitan western suburban regions do not like each other, stemming back from Callan Ward’s defection to the expansion club from the Whitten Oval back in 2011, that famous preliminary final in 2016, Toby Greene’s karate-kick and other recent spiteful encounters.
There is just so much to like about the Western Bulldogs so far in season 2021 with the side sitting on top of the ladder at 5-0, kicking big scores and dominating all over the park.
The Doggies put on a clinic last week against the Gold Coast Suns, the Bont brought his own footy to his 150th game with 150 disposals and their midfield is electric.
GWS will take plenty of confidence from their thrilling two-point win over the Swans in those absolute mint charcoal away kits.
Had Toby Greene kicked straight (1-7 for the day) it may have been a different story. It was a thrilling finish but the Giants pulled through to snap their cross-town rivals winning streak.
With two big wins over Sydney and Collingwood, things look to be starting to take shape for the Giants but beating the red-hot Bulldogs is a big ask.
Expect the Giants to put up a fight with a fast-paced, attacking Bulldogs outfit to get the job done and take Bevo’s boys to cover the line.
