THE PREDICTION
Western Bulldogs maintained their grip on top spot in the AFL with a third successive victory, a convincing one over Adelaide Crows. They will now look to strengthen their position as they take on Essendon, although the Bombers will be desperate to win to stay in the hunt of a top eight spot. They have lost their last two after going down to Sydney Swans last week which means they have a real task on their hands to climb back up the ladder and with the Bulldogs winning the last six games between the two, it would be a surprise if they failed to record another victory in this one.
