The Western Bulldogs are currently crushing winless Adelaide at Metricon Stadium, the scene of their clash with Melbourne this coming Saturday. 

The Doggies won the day late last year at Marvel Stadium in a close match up with the team listed below.

IN Max Gawn Neville Jetta Jake Lever Oscar McDonald Corey Wagner Josh Wagner

OUT Marty Hore (collarbone) Tom McDonald (knee) Sam Weideman (calf)

That was the game where Footscray got that very significant late goal from a mysterious free against Max.

Max came out with the gem...”that’s ruck craft, big boy!”

We had all the momentum and looked like winning at that stage.

There could be 8 or 9 changes to both of last year's teams. Hard to assess.

Can't believe we didn't win with 6 ins and only 3 outs. Must have been poor coaching.
