Western Bulldogs vs Melbourne Demons Preview
Melbourne remains premiership favourites despite winning just three of their last six.
They had a scare against Port Adelaide in Alice Springs but can thank young gun Kysaiah Pickett who booted six goals for the 14 point win.
The Western Bulldogs lost five of their first eight to start the season, but seem to be finding form as we approach the back end of year.
They have now won six of their last nine and are equal on points with eighth placed Richmond.
Bailey Smith returned from suspension against the Saints and collected 29 disposals and Marcus Bontempelli has been in white hot form in recent weeks especially in front of goal.
This looms as a danger game for the Dees and with so much to play for I think the Dogs can cause an upset.
