Sydney Swans vs Western Bulldogs Preview

Sydney returns to the SCG looking to bounce back from a heavy defeat when it hosts the Western Bulldogs on Friday night. The Swans were outclassed by Brisbane last week, but will draw confidence from their outstanding home record and a commanding 66-point win over the Bulldogs earlier this season. Charlie Curnow was unstoppable in that Round 7 meeting with seven goals, while Chad Warner remains Sydney’s key midfield weapon after another brilliant performance despite last week’s loss. The Bulldogs, meanwhile, enjoyed the bye after defeating St Kilda and will look to build on Marcus Bontempelli’s outstanding season. With both clubs firmly in the finals race, Friday night’s clash carries significant top-eight implications.
