Friday 17th April 2026 5:20 PM

The first of two Friday night games – lol at the AFL fixturing department for the 10,000th time this season – Geelong and the Western Bulldogs will clash at GMHBA Stadium.

The Bulldogs midfield will be hungry to bounce back after being obliterated by the Hawks in every facet, but could be bolstered by potential availability of Tim English, Tom Liberatore and Ed Richards (who hurt his ankle in Q4 last week).

The Cats are currently on a six-game winning streak at home and will likely add Patrick Dangerfield, Mark Blicavs and Jack Martin back into their side.

The emotion of a 300th game for club champion Blicavs vs a Dogs team reeling from a demolition at the hands of Hawthorn, we’re happy to play the Dogs at the line +11.5 in a tight one.
