The prediction
The Western Bulldogs come into this one on the back of a 37-point defeat to runaway leaders Fremantle in their most recent outing last week. That came after they had enjoyed three successive victories against West Coast, Gold Coast and Richmond.
North Melbourne begin Round 22 of the 2026 AFL campaign sitting two victories outside of the top ten and the play-off places. The Victorians succumbed to a 16-point loss to Hawthorn last week, extending their losing streak to five matches.
North Melbourne need something of a miracle now with three games of the regular season to go and the Bulldogs should be favoured to cement themselves in the top eight.
