preview
The lights will be flashing, and the music is blaring when Western Bulldogs take on Geelong at Marvel Stadium on Friday night to get Round 12 underway.
The Dishlickers have finally found some form, having won three games in a row, while the Cats are likely to get a handful of players back from injury and are on a two-game winning streak.
Geelong will still be without Patrick Dangerfield but managed to handle Adelaide by seven goals at GMHBA Stadium last weekend.
Judging the Doggies’ win against the Eagles last week is hard to assess, given how terrible the Eagles have been all season.
However, Luke Beveridge seemed to have found that ruthless nature that we know is embedded deeply in his squad under the right circumstances.
With the Dogs’ midfield humming and Geelong still missing a few players such as Gary Rohan and Rhys Stanley, even if those Cats come back, they will need a little time to find their touch, so it does set up for the home team to find the four points.
Aaron Naughton will ensure the Geelong tall defenders are occupied, and it should allow the Bulldogs smalls to go to work on the ground.
Suggested Bets: Western Bulldogs head to head at $1.86

total points under 168.5
I am taking the unders in this game.
With Geelong missing that drive and power Patrick Dangerfield offers it going forward and the Dogs’ midfield likely to limit the opportunity for it to go forward, thinking avenues to a goal will be hard to manufacture.
If we also look at the last three games between these teams, they have all gone well under 168.5 points, so that we will follow that trend.
Suggested Bet: Total points under 168.5 at $1.87

same game multi
I want to take Cody Weightman to kick a couple of goals in this game as Aaron Naughton will likely cop all the Geelong defence’s attention.
Adam Treloar also hit some severe form after 35 disposals against West Coast last week.
Marcus Bontempelli enjoyed playing Geelong last season after picking up 30 disposals and a goal, so he will be thrown into the multi.
Suggested Same Game Multi:
Leg 1: Western Bulldogs head to head
Leg 2: A. Treloar 25+ disposals
Leg 3: Total under 168.5
Leg 4: M. Bontempelli 25+ disposals
Leg 5: C. Weightman 2+ goals
Combined odds = $13
