The Bulldogs snared a crucial win over North last week, keeping their top four hopes alive.
The Dogs’ percentage is far worse than the incumbents, so they’ll need to win their last three to have any chance.
While Collingwood can’t make the eight, they’re enjoying having an influence on it.
The Pies have claimed recent victories over the Eagles and Giants and can shake things up further here.
