Western Bulldogs vs Collingwood Magpies Preview
Collingwood looks to build on their impressive win over Port Adelaide last week, as they take on a Western Bulldogs side that narrowly beat North Melbourne. The Pies dominated with pressure, forcing turnovers and delivering 69 tackles. While the Bulldogs showed resilience, their stoppage struggles may give Collingwood the edge. Collingwood’s ball movement and scoring potential off intercepts will be tough for the Dogs, who have been inconsistent in recent years. Expect a solid win for the Pies if they maintain their intensity.
