This weekend's footy: the Eagles v the Dogs and Port v the Saints
April 26th 2008 10:22
Tonight, the Western Bulldogs take on the West Coast Eagles at the Telstra Dome. The last time they met was in round seventeen of last year, when Ben Cousins had returned after ‘overcoming’ his drug problems and Chris Judd was still a resident of the West and Captain of its eagles. They whitewashed the Bulldogs by a massive eighty seven points. This year, the Eagles are without Judd and Cousins and the cracks are forming. They have one win to their season and are fifteenth on the ladder, while the Bulldogs are at the other end of the ladder, at clean third, having won all but one of their games this season. The Bulldogs should win by about thirty points.
The other game to be played tonight is between Port Adelaide and St Kilda. The last time they met was in round five of last year, the year that Port finished second on the ladder and walked into the 2007 Grand Final against Geelong. Although Geelong was too good for them in the Final, Port managed to defeat the Saints in that early round of the season by fifty three points. This year, the Saints have won three, leaving them seventh on the ladder, while Port has only been victorious once, dropping them to thirteenth. It is a Port home-game, at AAMI Stadium, but the Saints are too strong this year and should win by about ten points.
