Dogs’ Conundrum
The Bulldogs will have all sorts of headaches in defence trying to stop Treacy, Amiss and Voss.
Rory Lobb is likely to play forward as cover for Naughton so it leaves them bereft of defensive options.
For the Dockers, their key to the match is pretty simple, stop Marcus Bontempelli.
The Dogs skipper loves playing the Dockers and has laid down some beatings.
Milestone men
Josh Treacy and Hayden Young are sharing the 100-game milestone.
Welcome!
We have another perfect Friday night for prime time footy in Perth and the Dockers were out early soaking in the conditions.
The Dogs are running through their main warm-ups now as they have a big task ahead.
Can they stop the rampant Dockers or will the league leaders claim another scalp?
