    AFLW Report: Back-to-back Bulldog wins

    Western Bulldogs outlasted Geelong in an arm-wrestle at GMHBA Stadium on Friday night.

    CAPTAIN Ellie Blackburn proved the difference as her Western Bulldogs outlasted Geelong in an arm-wrestle at GMHBA Stadium on Friday night. 

    With just one point separating the two sides early in the last term, the Dogs kicked the final two goals to run away 3.6 (24) to 1.3 (9) victors. 

    In the only NAB AFLW match of round three in Victoria to be played in front of fans due to the state's latest lockdown, Blackburn collected 25 disposals and directly set-up the Dogs' first two goals. 

    00:47

    Dogs No.2 draft pick Jess Fitzgerald was then left to ice the match, fending off two Cats opponents before finishing off a brilliant solo running effort. 

    It conspired Geelong to its third consecutive defeat of the season with the Cats goalless in nine of 12 quarters for the season. 

    The Dogs, now placed at 2-1, should've been further in front at half-time through the dominance of Blackburn and Kirsty Lamb (20 disposals) around the contest. 

    00:43

    The Cats brought a stronger tackling edge after the main break and kicked their sole major through Phoebe McWilliams but were unable to make the most of territory dominance. 

    Blackburn again got the ball rolling in the final term with the Dogs registering five scoring shots to one and claim back-to-back victories.
