Western Bulldogs vs Adelaide @ Telstra Dome - Sunday Afternoon Adelaide will launch it's 2006 campaign travelling to the Telstra Dome to face the Western Bulldogs on Sunday afternoon Football. The Crows, come into the match with a very strong side. Bernie Vince will make his debut for the Crows in this match against the Bulldogs. The Bookies can't split this match and both teams are $1.80 to win this match, so that sounds good for the Crows. Neil Craig says that the Crows will be looking to get a good start to the season by beating the Bulldogs tonight. Craig says "Their run will be a problem, they love to bounce with the ball, but our defence and players will try and block their run, and if we are having to chase them down, then we will have to back our players".
