GEELONG v WESTERN BULLDOGS
Saturday 20 July @ GMHBA Stadium
What a riveting game this becomes now. Potentially the winner could get into the Top 4 come season's end with this as the basis.
Geelong has rallied the troops, circled the wagons, defended the farm – whatever rallying cry you like to use.
They had all those wins to start the season, a bunch of losses and now three more wins. Are they over good teams out of form or were they just too good?
Still getting that job done at the MCG when the Pies needed it was impressive. Still no Hawkins but they have manoeuvred the magnets.
Cameron hasn't had a massive year but when he's on, he's on.
In facing the Bulldogs they will get a test even if it's at home although they did lose there last year.
The Dogs got close to them in Gather Round and are playing better now if they are at their best which isn't always the case.
They did very well with the outs (some early and some very late).
| Match | Geelong | Western Bulldogs | Ground |
| Last time they met | 14.11 [95] | 14.7 [91] | Adelaide Oval |
| Last 10 matches | 7 wins | 3 wins | |
| Notes | Overall record is 108 wins to 58 with 2 draws in their clashes | ||
| Strangely Geelong has won 6 of the last 7 yet have not scored any more than 97 points | |||
The Bulldog talls could well scare the Cats if it's a dry night and they have two strong 'ins'.
The damper the better for the home side. A wet track makes you more confident of a close Geelong win.
Match Selection: Geelong by 9 points
Suggested Bets: Geelong 1-20 @ $3.70 @ bet365
