Dogs dominate Eagles with statement win in empty Optus Stadium By 2021-06-27T18:05+10:00 The Western Bulldogs have made a big statement with a 55-point win over West Coast in front of an empty Optus Stadium. The major talking point pre-game was the WA Government’s decision to ban fans from attending the clash after a COVID case was identified in Perth, but post-game it’ll all surround Luke Beveridge’s impressive side. The Bulldogs led from start to finish, dominating at both the stoppage and on the scoreboard, with 33 scoring shots to the Eagles’ 13. Marcus Bontempelli (three goals, 29 disposals), Bailey Smith (two goals, 31 disposals) and Jack Macrae (one goal, 32 disposals) starred in the middle as the Dogs won the clearance count 44 to 29.
