Best Bet

Western Bulldogs -18.5
Line

The Dogs have a strong record at their second home and are clearly the bet here.

They’ve won nine of eleven in Ballarat, covering the line in eight with an average winning margin of 25 points. Against top-ten teams, they’ve won and covered in five of six.

Luke Beveridge’s side continues to defy a lengthy injury list, comfortably beating GWS and St Kilda over the last two weeks. They’ve also faced a tough schedule, with no games against the current bottom five and four against the top nine.

Port have had a much softer draw, with five of their seven games coming against the current bottom seven. Their best win came against Hawthorn, but the Hawks are not playing to the same level as last year despite their 5-2 record.

This is a serious jump in quality for the Power. Back the Dogs to win well.


Same Game Multi

Bulldogs -18.5, M.Kennedy 20+ Disposals, R.West & M.Kennedy Anytime Goal

Matt Kennedy continues to be a great acquisition for the Dogs. He’s averaging 23.9 touches per game this year.

Riley West has kicked six in the last fortnight, while Matt Kennedy has kicked four in the same period.


Value Bet

Matt Kennedy
2+ Goals

The former Blue has always been a handy resting forward with his height. He’s kicked 2+ in three of his last five games.
