Good Friday football between the Roos and Bulldogs sees the BetDeluxe AFL crew find all the best bets in this clash at Marvel Stadium.

preview
What has become a Good Friday tradition ensues for another season when North Melbourne hosts the Western Bulldogs at Marvel Stadium.
The Roos will not exactly have fond memories the last time they played the Bulldogs in this clash.
It was a record 128-point thumping as Josh Bruce bagged 10 goals to down the Roos.
But Bruce will not be part of this Bulldogs line-up this year, so Roos fans can breath easily, for now.
North showed plenty of grit in its close loss to Sydney at the SCG last weekend and it a much-improved effort from its pitiful display against Brisbane the week prior.
With the Bulldogs struggling for form after being handed their third defeat of the year by Richmond, four points is simply a non-negotiable for them against this young Roos squad.
There is much question about the Dogs’ ability to handle tall forwards and find goals outside of Aaron Naughton.
That being said, the handball-centric style of the Bulldogs should be able to slice its way through North’s defence.
But if the Roos can display what they did last week, they can definitely cover the line with ease.
