The Western Bulldogs will be looking to continue their charge towards the top four when they take on Adelaide Crows in the final game of Round 22.
Four straight wins have put the Western Bulldogs just one game away from third place, after a 51-point hammering of Melbourne.
Adelaide, meanwhile, was brave but fell short against Geelong at the Cattery, going down by five points. After trailing by 22 points in the third quarter, the Crows scored five consecutive goals to lead by ten points in the fourth quarter, but Geelong scored three of the game's final four goals to deliver Adelaide their twelfth loss of the season.
Such is the tight nature of the table, the Bulldogs could end either in third place or outside of the top eight depending on how results go this weekend.
