Brisbane Lions V Western Bulldogs R19, Friday 18/7/25 at the Gabba at 7:40pm

[Eastdog]

Margin: Dogs by 1 point
Our first goal scorer: Laith Vandermeer
Our top goal scorer: Aaron Naughton (4 goals)
Our best on ground: Marcus Bontempelli

Going to be a tough one this week and not confident. I never tip against us (tipped us by 1 point) we need to get serious without the ball and apply pressure to the ball carrier. Our offensive is going well but defensively is the issue.

Really want to see us take our marks, stick our tackles, apply the pressure and limit the Lions on the scoreboard. Strong teams are underpinned by a strong defensive game.

I like our team now, they seem like great dudes (one tatted up toothy exception) and they’re really easy to barrack for, but I’ve given up any hope of them winning a significant game against a good team this year.

It's the type of game we win with our backs against the wall.

According to "First Crack" there are three things we need to do well. Keep Zorko under control, stop their run off half back and close off their run through the middle.

Difficult to mount any sort of case for us. Part of me thinks this could blow out, but we haven't really 'given up' this year and have kept margins pretty respectable.

Bit harsh on Libba. And he's not all that toothy.

[BiteNibbleChomp]

The last two games I made predictions for were the Cats game and last week. Both times I predicted Dogs wins. We all know how those went, so best I shut up and learn my lesson.

But I think Westy is due for a good game. I'll put him down for three goals.

- BNC

[Bumper Bulldogs]

Ok now that BNC has taken one gut the team. I actually do think we will get them this week.

And that's where the problem lies... our turnover game is the pits!

[GVGjr]

First up, I rate Riley Garcia but has his return limited midfield minutes for Joel Freijah?

Sort of, however it started the week before Garcia returned (against Sydney) when Harmes took most of Freijah's CBAs. Garcia's share increased again last week taking some away from Kennedy who had a season low 34%.
