What a thriller we had at M.C.G. for Round 24 as the Western Bulldogs put on a show, taking down Melbourne 108 to 87. The numbers before the bounce had Melbourne sitting pretty in the market, seeing support move from 1.45 down to 1.43 (firmed), while the Western Bulldogs drifted out from 2.78 to 2.85 (drifted).
That market confidence for the home side ultimately counted for little once the action got underway. The Western Bulldogs rolled up ready to play and put together a stellar performance to flip the script and silence the home crowd in style.
