AFL: Western Bulldogs vs North Melbourne – Match Insights & Our Tips

1 hour ago - DustinS AFL: Western Bulldogs vs North Melbourne – Match Insights & Our Tips Image
The Western Bulldogs host North Melbourne at Marvel Stadium in Thursday Night Footy. The Dogs sit 8th and must win to keep their hopes of a Top 6 finish alive. The Kangaroos are still a mathematical chance of finishing Top 10 but need to win all 3 games on the way home and rely on other results going their way. The Bulldogs star power should prove too strong.

The Bulldogs benefit from some big ins. Lively small forward Cody Weightman returns along with power forward Aaron Naughton. The Kangaroos will be boosted by the return of young hard nut George Wardlaw as we as Riley Hardeman.
