Adelaide Crows vs Western Bulldogs Preview
The Western Bulldogs arrive battle-hardened after surviving Collingwood 96-93 in the inaugural Wildcard Final. Marcus Bontempelli drove that win with 32 disposals, 10 score involvements and a goal, while Aaron Naughton and Arthur Jones each kicked four majors. These teams shared their two home-and-away meetings: the Bulldogs won 94-88 at Adelaide Oval in Round 2, before the Crows responded emphatically with a 121-64 victory at Marvel Stadium in Round 14. Adelaide has reached 50 points first in each of its past 10 home matches, while Darcy Fogarty has kicked multiple goals in seven straight appearances. The Bulldogs’ midfield and finals pressure demand respect, but Adelaide’s refreshed side and home scoring record provide an important edge.
