AFL Report | Fast-finishing Dogs fall short
The Western Bulldogs have fallen agonisingly short to Geelong at Adelaide Oval on Saturday night.
The Western Bulldogs have fallen agonisingly short to Geelong by four points at Adelaide Oval on Saturday night.
The Cats led for all but five minutes of the game and threatened to blow the Bulldogs away at different stages, leading by as much as 26 points late in the third quarter. But Luke Beveridge’s men sensed the fatigue on the opposition and kept coming for the entire 120 minutes. They never stopped.
The Dogs kicked the final three goals of the game and had all the momentum at the end, with Bailey Williams reducing the margin to under a kick with less than a minute left and Ed Richards streaming through the centre square when the siren sounded to confirm the 14.11 (95) to 14.7 (91) Geelong win.
00:36
Western Bulldogs captain Marcus Bontempelli and veteran star Tom Liberatore were the two clear standout players on Adelaide Oval, almost willing the Dogs to a memorable win on the road.
With Patrick Dangerfield and Cam Guthrie missing from the Cats, Liberatore dictated terms at stoppage, amassing an unbelievable 19 clearances (equal No. 3 all-time) and 28 contested possessions (equal No. 4 all-time) in an inside masterclass that you can’t teach - finishing with 35 disposals, nine tackles and a goal.
Bontempelli was almost as good, finishing with 35 touches, 14 contested possessions, 10 tackles, seven clearances and a goal in a dominant display that underlined his status as one of the best players in the land.
GOALS Western Bulldogs: Darcy 3, West 2, Weightman 2, Ugle-Hagan 2, Liberatore, Gallagher, Bontempelli, Williams, Treloar Geelong: Stengle 4, Cameron 2, Bowes 2, O.Henry 2, Holmes, Z. Guthrie, Dempsey, Close
BEST Western Bulldogs: Liberatore, Bontempelli, Jones, Darcy, Treloar, Sanders Geelong: Cameron, Miers, Stewart, Stanley, Bowes
INJURIES Western Bulldogs: TBC Geelong: TBC
SUBSTITUTES Western Bulldogs: Jack Macrae replaced Caleb Daniel in the third quarter Geelong: Mark O’Connor replaced Jhye Clark in the fourth quarter
