WESTERN Bulldogs forward Stewart Crameri is in doubt for next weekend's elimination final against Adelaide after limping off in Saturday's loss against the Brisbane Lions.

The former Bomber crumpled to the ground late in the third quarter after colliding with young Lions defender Harris Andrews in a marking contest.

Crameri suffered both a corked hip and also jarred his left knee.

Bulldogs coach Luke Beveridge had little update on his condition post match, but indicated Crameri was in some doubt to face the Crows.

"Seems like he's OK with the jarring, but he's got a decent cork, so we'll see how that comes up," Beveridge said.

It was a black spot on a tough day for the Bulldogs, who conceded 19 goals to the AFL's worst attack and lost by eight points.

Beveridge paid credit to the Lions, but said his men would move on quickly from the performance.

After Geelong defeated Adelaide earlier in the afternoon, the Bulldogs could not be budged from sixth.

Beveridge said he would not use that as an excuse for a slight lack of intensity.

"The Lions brought a hunger today that we've had all year that we didn't really show," he said.

"Across the board, it was just left to too few.

"We'll need to move on pretty quick because we've got an important final this week.

"We'll be looking to steel up all our parts and get that cohesion back we've had for most of the year.

"It wasn't our best today, but the Lions really brought theirs."

Beveridge said jumping from 14th in 2014 to sixth this year was an "enormous effort".

Despite defeating Adelaide by 57 points in round four, he said the Bulldogs would have their hands full next weekend.

"We had a pretty good performance against them in the early part of the year but things have changed and it's going to be an enormous challenge to play against them," he said.
