The Western Bulldogs enter a critical match against the West Coast Eagles on Sunday, needing a victory to keep their hopes alive for a top-eight finish in the 2025 Toyota AFL Premiership Season. This clash, set to take place at Marvel Stadium, marks an important opportunity for the Bulldogs to not only secure their place in the finals but also to set up a mini elimination final against Fremantle next week.
Currently holding a record of 13 wins and 8 losses with a percentage of 108.6%, the Bulldogs have been on a winning streak, having claimed three consecutive victories. They aim to avenge a disappointing loss to the Eagles that occurred around this time two years ago. The introduction of father-son debutant Jordan Croft adds excitement to their lineup as they prepare for this decisive encounter.
In contrast, the West Coast Eagles have struggled throughout the season, recording just 1 win and 20 losses with a percentage of 63%. This match serves as a formality for the Eagles, who are looking towards the end of a challenging campaign. Coach Andrew McQualter will face the additional challenge of missing key players: Liam Duggan is suspended, and both Tom Gross and Archer Reid are sidelined due to injuries.
