North Melbourne Kangaroos vs Western Bulldogs Preview
At the time of publish, North Melbourne was $8.25 in a two-horse race against the Western Bulldogs ($1.07)
It’s fitting this game be played on Good Friday as the punters expect the Doggies to crucify the Kangaroos.
And they will.
While it may only be Round 3, the Western Bulldogs are coming off the game of the year – a thrilling 7-point win over the Eagles, coming from 14-points behind in the last quarter with the likes of the Bont, Bailey Williams, Adam Trealor, Jack Macrae and Aaron Naughton all playing their part. One could argue it was the clubs best win since the 2016 Grand Final.
North Melbourne have started the season 0-2, with beltings handed out by Port Adelaide and the Gold Coast Suns last week.
The Kangaroos are very much in a rebuild, and by re-build we mean that they still need to go to Bunnings to purchase the bricks and mortar.
The line for this match has been set at -41.5 in favour of the Bulldogs, I don’t even think North Melbourne will get close to it and happy to back the Dogs 60+ for a serious value play.
