What it means for Western Bulldogs: A missed chance against St Kilda. It cannot happen again. The Dogs must come out all guns blazing against the Dockers to keep in touch with the finals hopefuls.

What it means for Fremantle: The Dockers have been disappointing over the last month or so, but last week's win kept them in the finals race. An absolute must-win to keep the September dream alive.

The stat: The Western Bulldogs are on track to finish 2019 with 511 hitouts. Aaron Sandilands had nearly double that with 998 in 2015.

The match-up: Jason Johannisen v Michael Walters

The Official AFL Player Ratings have Johannisen and Walters as the 125th and the 30th ranked players in the competition this year. The pure speed and excitement these two bring should set Marvel Stadium alight.

It's a big week for: Cam McCarthy
With no Jesse Hogan for the rest of the season, it's time for McCarthy to get back to his best after gathering just five possessions against the Swans. Rory Lobb needs help.

Big call: Aaron Naughton to be sent back to lock down Rory Lobb in a match-saving performance.

Prediction: Bulldogs by 12 points

 

[Power Raid]

Supporting the Dockers but this will be a tough one

 

[Bald]

Rhylee West confirmed debut and Dale Morris to return.

Side note: Dale Morris played with Scott and is now playing with Rhylee, how many other cases are there of this happening where a player has played with father and son?

 

[MadMundy]

If the club is realistically still trying to make finals, this game is one of the most important this season.

Will make for a cracker, we're in the same boat.

Just in recent times for us: Murphy, Cross, Gilbee, Hargrave and Giansiracusa, played with both Liberatores. M.Boyd and Lake were on the same list as both, but only played with Tom at AFL level while Hahn only played with Tony but was on the rookie list in Tom's first season.

 

[TheShardMan]

Doggies midfield should run over the top of us. But then again dogs are the most untrustworthy side this year. Beat some top teams but lose to saints, blues, suns.

Please do us a favour and expose rtb and his pathetic game plan for the absolute failure it is. Sooner hes gone the better. Dogs by 45.

I doubt that, maybe in the inside stuff. But the past few times we've played, your speedsters have ripped us apart. If you move the ball fast enough, combined with your leg speed, we won't be keeping up.
