Bays by 40-50 IMO

The Dogs aren’t going to go away easily.
Hosie may be a risk if he plays, Gould had back spasms so is no certainty, and McGree has been carrying an ankle injury, so the match committee have some decisions to make.
Put all that together, and it’s genuinely 50/50.

I was a little fella before ‘69 so could have easily got anything before then wrong.

I expect the Dogs will have more than 10 scoring shots, and might even come out swinging and kick a few goals early on, but the Bays will win 16.14 to 9.7.
