Melbourne vs. Western Bulldogs Predictions
—
Best Bet
It would be a shame if the Bulldogs didn’t make the finals, especially given how impressive they were against GWS last week, scoring a 132-44 win in one of the most impressive performances of 2025.
They lost to Adelaide and Brisbane recently, but bouncing back with wins over Essendon and GWS should have their confidence levels rising, and it’s why the line is –24.5 against a Melbourne team coming off an easy win over West Coast.
However, playing West Coast and the Western Bulldogs is a vastly different game for Melbourne, and we expect the Demons to struggle. They lost 110-59 last year, and it could be a similar score on Sunday afternoon.

Same Game Multi
Punters don’t get massive odds in the 2+ goal department, but Rhylee West pays $2.12 to kick a double, and that’s a good price.
He had only one goal last week against GWS, but he showed up with seven goals in his previous two games. Anything close to that form should see him kick at least two goals, and his odds boost AFL SGM odds.
Aaron Naughton has 24 goals from his last five games, so getting $1.94 for 3+ goals is good shopping. He should have another big showing, alongside West and Sam Darcy, and because we expect the Bulldogs to put up a big score, there should be many goal scorers putting up impressive numbers.

Best Value Bet
Given how important a win is for the Bulldogs, we expect them to produce the goods. They flexed their muscles when beating the Giants, and Melbourne isn’t playing well against the better AFL teams.
Despite sitting outside the top eight, the Bulldogs are a good team, and they’re leaving their run late. However, scoring a 40+ win shouldn’t be too hard, so we’re snapping up the $2.60 odds with bookmakers.
