Western Bulldogs vs Collingwood Magpies Preview
The Western Bulldogs claimed eighth place by defeating Melbourne 108-87, with returning captain Marcus Bontempelli producing 27 disposals, 13 score involvements, 11 marks and two goals. Tim English is also pushing to return from an MCL injury. Collingwood enters after a 159-96 loss to Brisbane and will be without Scott Pendlebury because of a hamstring injury, while Brayden Maynard remains sidelined by a knee concern. The Bulldogs won the Round 12 meeting 97-93 and appear to carry the stronger recent momentum. Collingwood’s finals experience and rest advantage demand respect, but the Bulldogs’ midfield power and healthier attacking form give them a narrow edge in an elimination setting.
