Western Bulldogs vs Gold Coast Suns Preview
Currently sitting on top of the AFL ladder 4-0 and the Bulldogs fans are starting to believe they could be partying like it’s October 2016 all over again.
The Bulldogs took care of Brisbane in the wet, windy conditions at Ballarat last week with a comfortable 19-point win.
Everyone seems to be ticking along nicely at the Whitten Oval, be it Tim English, new recruits Stef Martin and Adam Trealor, not to mention the Bont, Jack McRae and Josh Bruce.
While they love a visit to their Ballarat Holiday home, they’ll be delighted to be under the roof of Marvel Stadium this Saturday against the Gold Coast Suns.
Injury has the better of the Gold Coast Suns, but they put up a decent fight against Carlton last week only to fall short in the last quarter.
The Western Bulldogs will go into this game rightful favourites, and you really cannot make a case for the injury-depleted Suns to even put up a fight in this contest, as much as you’d want them to.
It’s a matter of how the Western Bulldogs will win this game, and they’ll do it very comfortably making it a 5-0 start to 2021.
The 40+ margin at $2.10 is pretty damn good value in this one.
