However, the last time they met it was a Bulldogs win and it was the only time Adelaide was defeated in the regular season that particular season. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Key Stat Areas<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Perhaps as a sign of how their respective seasons are going, Adelaide is comfortably doing better than the Western Bulldogs in just about every category. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One area that the Bulldogs will need to keep an eye on though is their inside 50 efficiency. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is almost 150% poorer than Adelaide&#8217;s, and with the addition of their inside 50 numbers also being significantly poorer than Adelaide&#8217;s, the Bulldogs are really going to have to make the most of every chance they get in their forward 50. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Key Match Up\/s<\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a data-type=\"player\" data-id=\"63280\" class=\"_dc_spo\" href=\"\/afl\/player\/caitlin-gould\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Caitlin Gould<\/a> <strong>vs<\/strong> <a data-type=\"player\" data-id=\"31076\" class=\"_dc_spo\" href=\"\/afl\/player\/isabella-grant\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Isabella Grant<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gould is the main tall target of Adelaide&#8217;s forward line, so Grant or whoever else ends up on Gould sure will not have an easy game. The defender in question has to always play in front, because Gould is an incredibly strong marking target.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a data-type=\"player\" data-id=\"68070\" class=\"_dc_spo\" href=\"\/afl\/player\/zoe-prowse\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Zoe Prowse<\/a> <strong>vs <\/strong><a data-type=\"player\" data-id=\"31031\" class=\"_dc_spo\" href=\"\/afl\/player\/gabrielle-newton\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Gabrielle Newton<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Up the other end Newton is the equivalent of Gould for the Bulldogs, so Prowse or whoever ends up being on Newton will have plenty to keep them occupied tonight. Prowse however is strong in the air, so Newton is just as much going to have to be mindful of where her opponent is. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a data-type=\"player\" data-id=\"63375\" class=\"_dc_spo\" href=\"\/afl\/player\/niamh-kelly\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Niamh Kelly<\/a> vs <a data-type=\"player\" data-id=\"76245\" class=\"_dc_spo\" href=\"\/afl\/player\/rylie-wilcox\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Rylie Wilcox<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The two speedsters on the wing, Kelly and Wilcox really provide plenty of run for their sides, and a lot of attacking play for these teams comes from these two. It will be interesting to watch who can outwit and outsprint the other. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-dc-block-dc-mention _dc_mention\"><div class=\"section-heading_wrap\"><span class=\"section-heading is-small\">Mentions<\/span><span class=\"hor-border\"><\/span><\/div><ul class=\"js-overflow-list overflow-list\"><li class=\"object-mention_single\"><div class=\"tag tag--is-clickable\"><a class=\"tag-text _dc_mention_p\" href=\"https:\/\/central.rookieme.com\/afl\/player\/caitlin-gould\/\">Caitlin Gould<\/a><\/div><\/li><li class=\"object-mention_single\"><div class=\"tag tag--is-clickable\"><a class=\"tag-text _dc_mention_p\" href=\"https:\/\/central.rookieme.com\/afl\/player\/isabella-grant\/\">Isabella Grant<\/a><\/div><\/li><li class=\"object-mention_single\"><div class=\"tag tag--is-clickable\"><a class=\"tag-text _dc_mention_p\" href=\"https:\/\/central.rookieme.com\/afl\/player\/zoe-prowse\/\">Zoe Prowse<\/a><\/div><\/li><li class=\"object-mention_single\"><div class=\"tag tag--is-clickable\"><a class=\"tag-text _dc_mention_p\" href=\"https:\/\/central.rookieme.com\/afl\/player\/gabrielle-newton\/\">Gabrielle Newton<\/a><\/div><\/li><li class=\"object-mention_single\"><div class=\"tag tag--is-clickable\"><a class=\"tag-text _dc_mention_p\" href=\"https:\/\/central.rookieme.com\/afl\/player\/niamh-kelly\/\">Niamh Kelly<\/a><\/div><\/li><li class=\"object-mention_single\"><div class=\"tag tag--is-clickable\"><a class=\"tag-text _dc_mention_p\" href=\"https:\/\/central.rookieme.com\/afl\/player\/rylie-wilcox\/\">Rylie Wilcox<\/a><\/div><\/li><li class=\"object-mention_single\"><div class=\"tag tag--is-clickable\"><a class=\"tag-text _dc_mention_e\" href=\"https:\/\/central.rookieme.com\/afl\/event\/adelaide-vs-bulldogs\/\">Adelaide vs Bulldogs<\/a><\/div><\/li><li class=\"js-dropdown dropdown overflowed\"><button class=\"btn btn-icon-only\"><span class=\"icon btn-icon\">\n                    <!-- icon - plus circle - 20px-->\n                    <svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 20 20\">\n                        <path d=\"M15,9.28h-4.3V5h0A.72.72,0,1,0,9.28,5h0V9.28H5a.72.72,0,0,0,0,1.43H9.28V15a.72.72,0,0,0,1.43,0h0V10.71H15a.72.72,0,0,0,0-1.43Z\"\/>\n                        <path d=\"M10,0A10,10,0,1,0,20,10,10,10,0,0,0,10,0Zm0,18.57A8.57,8.57,0,0,1,10,1.43h0a8.57,8.57,0,0,1,0,17.14Z\"\/>\n                    <\/svg>\n                <\/span><\/button><div class=\"popover\"><div class=\"popover-content\"><ul class=\"popover-menu\"><\/ul><\/div><\/div><\/li><\/ul><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>7:15pmNorwood Oval Recent Form These two teams could not be coming into this clash with more different recent runs of form.
