Western Bulldogs vs Richmond: 2025 AFL Round 15
Contenders or Pretenders?
The Dogs were the talk of the town early in the season, when they started 5-2 with a remarkable percentage. Since Round 9 the Dogs have been 2-3 with three losses to top eight teams which saw them fall out of the top eight. Luke Beveridge’s side bounced back with a dominant performance in a 72-point win over St Kilda, but the same questions remain over the Bulldogs. Against the current bottom 10 teams the Dogs have a 6-0 record, with four of those six wins coming by over 70 points. Against the current top eight the Bulldogs have a 1-6 record. Fortunately for the Western Bulldogs, they play Richmond, Sydney and North Melbourne in the next three weeks.
A Long Second Half Awaits
Richmond have exceeded expectations with three wins, however it’s going to be a tough run home for Adam Yze’s side. The Tigers have lost four straight games and have games against the Dogs, Crows and Cats in the coming weeks. It could get ugly for Richmond against three of the most potent forward lines in the competition. Richmond’s lack of attacking capacity was on display in their last game, generating only 14 inside 50’s for the final three quarters and kicking just one goal after quarter time, going goalless for 97 minutes. Coming up against the best attacking team in the AFL, it could be another long day for Richmond.
The Stats That Matter
Regardless of what you think of the Bulldogs, what you can’t deny is the dominance they’ve shown in the forward half in 2025. The Dogs are the highest scoring team in the competition averaging 103 points per game, and have scored in excess of 100 points in seven of their thirteen games this season. Since Round 6, the Bulldogs have wins by 71, 90, 91 and 72 points against teams outside of the top eight. Richmond on the other hand are the lowest scoring team in the league averaging 65 points per game and are yet to score more than 90 points in a game.
The Bulldogs' attacking game is built on their midfield dominance giving them good looks and field position, with the Dogs ranking 2nd for clearances, 2nd for inside 50’s and 2nd for disposals. The Bulldogs have comfortably the best scoring profile of any team in the AFL ranking top three in all three score origins, and top seven in all three score sources.
Bulldogs or Tigers? Here’s Our Western Bulldogs vs Richmond Tip
