What time is the AFL tonight? GWS vs Western Bulldogs start time, team lists and streaming options for Round 8 image

A fierce rivalry has developed since the 2016 preliminary final.

The Western Bulldogs will take plenty of confidence into this contest, winning their past three encounters.

However, the Giants won't be shying away from the challenge and will be raring to go after their comeback victory against cross-town rivals Sydney last week.

There is no love lost between these two sides, so expect a lot of physicality in the nation's capital.
