Western Bulldogs vs. Essendon – Marvel Stadium, Friday Night

The Western Bulldogs, with their eye-catching brand of football, meet an Essendon side desperate to find form. The Bulldogs’ Sam Darcy, fresh off his goal-kicking spree, poses a significant threat that Essendon’s defence will need to neutralise. Essendon, on the other hand, seeks redemption after recent setbacks. This match at Marvel Stadium will test both teams’ mettle, but the Bulldogs’ midfield depth and forward line potency give them the edge. 

Prediction: Western Bulldogs to win, with Sam Darcy continuing his goal-kicking form.
