Three rounds remain in the seventh AFLW home and away season, and while the top seven teams look certain to make finals - albeit with the order still up in the air - the race for eighth is on.

Western Bulldogs

Ninth place

16 points (four wins, three losses), 90.6 per cent

An historically heavy defeat at the hands of Melbourne last weekend has put the Western Bulldogs in a precarious position, out of the top eight but with the potential to move back up should they come home strongly.

Their final three games all come against sides sitting lower on the ladder, and are all matches they should win, ultimately handing them a finals berth.
