Saturday, September 24Greater Western Sydney ($1.50) vs. Western Bulldogs ($2.65), Spotless Stadium at 5:15pmTeam news:The young and exciting Western Bulldogs have become everyones second team and one more win will see the club into its first grand final since 1961. Up North, the Giants will also be looking to make history, by claiming a maiden finals berth themselves.Theres speculation that Lin Jong could be named after recovering quicker than expected from a broken collarbone. However, if he is to play, its more likely going to to be in the Bulldogs VFL grand final side. Matthew Boyd has also insisted this week that his side will not be getting physical with Ryan Griffen who defected to GWS from the Dogs at the end of 2014.GWS had the luxury of a week off after upsetting the minor premiers in week one of the finals, but it came with a price as Steve Johnson will now have to watch on from the sidelines after picking up a one-week suspension for his hit on Josh Kennedy.Key head-to-head: Stephen Coniglio vs. Marcus BontempelliBontempelli has just about been the player of the finals. Its staggering to think the star Bulldog is still barely a pup, at 20 years of age.He was huge against the Hawks, winning key contests -- several against Luke Hodge, if you dont mind -- and leading from the front as the Dogs surged to a preliminary final.Coniglio was desperately unfortunate not to join the Bont in this years All Australian team, such has been his dominance through the midfield all year. The young Giant is adept at winning his own ball while limiting an opponents influence.Will Leon Cameron task Coniglio with stopping the rampaging Bulldog? Or will he back his pack of rolled-gold midfield guns in a head-to-head battle?One would think curbing Bontempellis impact will be front of Camerons mind ahead of this clash, and Coniglio could be that man.If Bontempelli struggles, youd think the Giants will have enough class all over the ground to win through to a history-making grand final.Giants:?B Adam Tomlinson, Phil Davis, Nathan Wilson HB Heath Shaw, Joel Patfull, Ryan Griffen C Jacob Hopper, Stephen Coniglio, Tom Scully HF Dylan Shiel, Jeremy Cameron, Jonathon Patton F Rhys Palmer, Rory Lobb, Devon Smith FOL Shane Mumford, Toby Greene, Callan Ward I/C Zac Williams, Lachie Whitfield, Josh Kelly, Nick HaynesBulldogs:?B Jason Johannisen, Joel Hamling, Matthew Boyd HB Shane Biggs, Dale Morris, Easton Wood C Lachie Hunter, Marcus Bontempelli, Liam Picken HF Jack Macrae, Zaine Cordy, Jake Stringer F Tory Dickson, Tom Boyd, Caleb Daniel FOL Jordan Roughead, Luke Dahlhaus, Tom Liberatore I/C Clay Smith, Toby McLean, Fletcher Roberts, Josh DunkleyKey Stats: No interstate side playing in its first finals series has ever won back-to-back finals.UBET verdict: The old adage you have to lose one to win one hasnt applied to GWS so far, as they continue on their rampage towards Saturday weeks grand final.The Giants are now at home after thrashing the Swans two weeks ago, and the money trail tells us that UBET customers expect them to dispose of the Bulldogs on Saturday, and progress to the big dance next week.There is any amount of money for the Giants to beat the Bulldogs at $1.50, and also to cover the handicap line of 13.5 points start.Weather: Mostly sunny with a top of 20. No rain expected.Prediction: This may well be one of the quickest and exciting matches of 2016. These sides are expected to develop a rivalry over the coming years as they both appear set for a number of glory years, but who will prevail in round one?The Giants have made Spotless Stadium a fortress this season and put the Dogs to the sword when they met there earlier in the year.
