My Prediction
Western Bulldogs by 3Here's what you need to know -- it's the high-flying Adelaide Crows against the scrappy Western Bulldogs in a round 18 Australian melée you'll remember. Dig your cleats in, folks! The Bulldogs have a bit of a bone to pick, and who can blame them? The Crows absolutely picked them apart last season, you remember that game right? Shocked their fans, gave us a run for our money. And that's not easy to forget, even if the Crows have a better win-loss record this season.
You can see the Bulldogs have started to turn things around, don't you? They've been tearing up the AstroTurf in recent games, besting the competition and showing they've got the bite. The Crows are no slouches though, and their performance against Melbourne could make even the most level-headed sports enthusiast spit out their mid-strength beer in excitement!
Seeing the standings, we’re not talking about two neighborhood kids battling for who can toss a paperclip the farthest. These guys are top 10 material, with Crows snug in their lofty nest on Tier 3 and our Bulldogs chasing their tail at 7.
But if there's one thing I've learned in my entirely-too-long career of watching burly men chase after an odd-shaped ball, it's that it's never just about who's on top. So, with a heavy heart and a hopeful spirit – and a side-eye to the bookies - I'm saying the ledger might tilt just slightly in the favor of the Dogs tonight. It's going to be a dogfight, so don't say I didn't warn you.
