Live: Bulldogs looking to seal wildcard spot with win over Kangaroos
The Bulldogs take on North Melbourne at Docklands, with a win all but guaranteeing a spot in the wildcard round for Luke Beveridge's men. Follow live.
North Melbourne secured a hard-fought 100-77 victory over the Western Bulldogs at Docklands Stadium, ending a seven-year winless streak against the team. Luke Davies-Uniacke led the charge with 31 disposals, 10 clearances and two goals, while Paul Curtis contributed four goals and 19 possessions. The win marked North's first against a top-eight opponent during Alastair Clarkson's tenure.
The loss leaves the Bulldogs in a precarious position as they wrap up the home and away season, needing a win against either Carlton or Melbourne to secure a wildcard spot. Meanwhile, the Western Bulldogs coach Luke Beveridge commented on Geelong's concussion waiver saga, stating that he would have signed a waiver to continue playing if it meant he could stay on the field.
