Western Bulldogs v Geelong Cats; AFL 2022 round 12 match preview and team lists

Western Bulldogs v Geelong Cats, AFL 2022 round 12 match preview and team lists
Ben Jensen GARY ROHAN has been named to play just his second game for the season against the Bulldogs tonight, while ruckman Rhys Stanley is also an inclusion after missing the last few weeks. With apparently no other AFL-level ruckman left standing it’s been left to Mark Blicavs and others to pinch-hit in ruck in Stanley’s absence. Omitted are Shannon Neale and Frank Evans, while Quinton Narkle last week’s substitute was also left out.

The Bulldogs made just the one change, recalling Bailey Smith, the popular forward/mid. The match of the round has punters fairly equally divided with betting odds bouncing around all week, with the eighth placed Bulldogs adjudged slight favourite ahead of the sixth-placed Cats.
