Sydney Swans vs Western Bulldogs Preview
Finals hopes are on the line when Sydney hosts the Western Bulldogs under lights at the SCG on Friday night. The Swans snapped a three-game losing streak with a gritty upset over Port Adelaide, overcoming wayward kicking to prevail by 19 points. The returns of Errol Gulden, Tom Papley and Joel Amartey added spark, with Gulden especially lively in his 2025 debut.
The Bulldogs, meanwhile, surged back into the top eight after dismantling Richmond by 79 points. Marcus Bontempelli was at his dominant best, racking up 36 disposals and three goals, while Sam Darcy kicked five in a breakout performance.
The Dogs comfortably accounted for Sydney in their last meeting at the SCG, but they’ll be without Adam Treloar this time after another calf injury sidelines the midfielder. With both sides jostling for September relevance, expect a fierce and high-stakes contest to open Round 16.
