    Four Things To Watch: Blues v Dogs
    Jun 14, 2019 2:04PM

    1. Patrick Cripps
    Carlton’s skipper was sensational in his side’s win against Brisbane on the weekend.
    And last time the Blues and Dogs met, Cripps was dominant, with 37 disposals.
    The gun midfielder is averaging almost 28 disposals and more than six disposals per game.
    Restricting his influence around the contest will be critical for the Bulldogs.



    2. Must win
    It’s very much a ‘must-win’ game if the Bulldogs are to keep their season alive.
    The Dogs are two games outside the top eight, in 15th, but a win against the Blues would kick-start their run home after the bye.
    When the sides met in round five this year, Carlton were far too good.
    It should only serve as added motivation for the Dogs to square the ledger at 1-1 in 2019.



    3. Road to goal
    Since the round five loss to Carlton, the Bulldogs have been able to impact the scoreboard more regularly.
    In the first five games, the Dogs averaged 75.4 points per game. In the six games following, that’s increased to 85.1 points per game.
    The Bulldogs continue to rely on a spread of goal-kickers for a winning score.
    Sharp-shooter Tory Dickson returns for the injured Billy Gowers, with Aaron Naughton and Sam Lloyd leading the Dogs’ goal-kicking tally with 17 majors each.



    4. Contested marking
    Heading into the bye rounds, at the end of round 11, two young guns sat at the top of the contested marking table.
    Carlton’s Harry McKay had 29 – now 30 after their match last week – to lead the competition, with Aaron Naughton sitting second with 26.
    McKay had a big influence last time these sides met – clunking 11 marks and kicking four goals.
    The Bulldogs will be out to limit his output this week, and hoping to bring Naughton into the game when they go forward.

    Match preview: Carlton v Western Bulldogs

    Where and when: Marvel Stadium, Saturday, June 15, 7.25pm AEST

    TV, radio and online: Click here for broadcast guide

    What it means for Carlton: After a morale-boosting victory last week, the Blues will be hoping to show it was no flash in the pan. Another win here could be massive for caretaker David Teague's hopes of keeping the job full-time.

    What it means for Western Bulldogs: The bye came at the perfect time for the Bulldogs, who had lost three straight games going into it. Refreshed and reenergised, they simply have to snap that streak against the Blues.


    The stat: Due to a quirk in the fixture, this will be the third time the Western Bulldogs have met Carlton in its last 14 games.

    The match-up: Patrick Cripps v Marcus Bontempelli

    Two of the best young midfielders in the competition, this pair loves playing against each other and are frequently matched at stoppages. Cripps got the better of the dual in round five, winning 37 disposals and 11 clearances.

    It's a big week for: Harry McKay

    The imposing Carlton forward was best on ground when these two sides last met. Simply unstoppable in the air, he finished with four goals, 20 disposals, 11 marks and five contested marks. Another performance like that could lift the Blues to victory.

    Big call: Bont to get the better of Cripps

    Prediction: Western Bulldogs by 11 points

    Ha ha. Flip a coin. It's a more reliable indicator of our intensity levels against crap opposition than informed hunches.

    I have a bad feeling about this game. Us off a bye, them off a win, they are confident after touching us up last time, us barely getting out of the blocks all season. It doesn't look good I'm afraid.

    First goal - Naughton
    BOG - Hunter for us, Cripps overall.

    I don't quite get the negativity to tonight's game. I can understand some level of nervousness but despite losing to them last time it's still on our home ground and we should be able to learn from the previous mistakes. Crozier and Dickson are also good inclusions for us

    I'm expecting a far better performance
