The Bulldogs have beaten Sydney, Geelong, Fremantle and Carlton on their finals push and another strong percentage win against Adelaide could help them secure a top-four finish with them having a superior percentage than most of the top eight teams.

Expect the Bulldogs to come out firing against the Crows and not take their foot off the gas once they get the lead, kicking over their team total of 91.5 and covering against Adelaide who have nothing left to play for in 2024.

The Western Bulldogs have won their past 3 matches by a margin of 39 points or more.

Adelaide put in a spirited comeback last weekend against the Cats, taking the lead into the fourth quarter after being down by 22 points. However, Geelong fought back in the final term and stole back the victory 90-85.

It was Adelaide’s second consecutive loss and another match this season where they failed to link their backline with their forwards through poor movement and lost possessions in the midfield. Adelaide had just 42 inside 50s in the match which is 7 less than their season average.

The season is over for the Crows but they will need to use these next three rounds to continue to work on their forward entry issues that they have succumbed to in 2024.

The Western Bulldogs are coming home with a wet sail and have now forced they way into the top eight with a huge 51-point victory over Melbourne last Friday night.

The win was the Bulldogs fourth in a row and their sixth in their past 7 games, which has me leaning towards them as the dark horse heading into the finals.

The Western Bulldogs are starting to play a real forward heavy game, focusing on getting the ball inside their forward 50 as much as possible, now ranked third in the AFL with 56.1 forward entries per game, with a sixth-best 12.6 marks in the area. The Bulldogs are also getting to their shots, ranked third in the AFL with 50.9% of their inside 50s turning into shots on goal.
