Western Bulldogs Form

The Bulldogs game is a lot about their midfield with the likes of Bontempelli, Dunkley, Macrae, Treloar and Smith all running amuck and changing off the half-forward line.
Seven of their midfielders gathered more footy than Collingwood's leading disposal getter which says a lot about how strong they really are between half-back and half-forward.
With the home ground advantage against West Coast, they do deserve to be favourites but are very short in the market.
