Scores low, possessions high
Josh Dunkley has eight early disposals while Marcus Bontempelli has nine touches yet neither side has been able to score with any regularity.
Joe Daniher has missed two shots for goal so far.
Dogs 7, Lions 1 with seven mins to go in Q1.
Jamarra goals first
The Bulldogs have jumped all over Jamarra Ugle-Hagan after he snapped the opening goal after a horror week following racial abuse from a fan in last week’s loss to St Kilda.
Earlier in the play, first-gamer Arthur Jones forced a turnover with a tackle on the wing.
High-energy start for the Bulldogs.
Dogs 6, Lions 0 with 17 mins to go in Q1.

Dunkley tackled down early
The Bulldogs have been hitting hard in the opening seconds with Dunkley brought to ground and Will Ashcroft caught holding the ball by Ed Richards.
Still no score early.
Subs named
No late changes to either side. Robbie McComb (Bulldogs) and Noah Answerth (Lions) are the subs.
The Bulldogs are in their home blue strip while Brisbane are wearing the old Fitzroy colours with white shorts.
First bounce is upon us.
