Essendon Bombers vs Carlton Blues Preview

How the market has Carlton listed as favorites in this game is beyond me.

Is it former coach John Worsfold’s advisory role to David Teague giving him the inside word? Surely not.

Essendon played a blinder on Anzac Day and the Blues performance against the Brisbane Lions (proudly sponsored by Neds) was questionable at best.

Both Essendon and Carlton who are 12th and 13th on the ladder respectively with 2 qins and 4 losses are really evenly matched going into this game.

However, based on what I’ve seen in recent weeks along with riding the highs of Anthony McDonald-Tipungwuit’s five-goal haul last Sunday has me ALL IN on back-to-back wins for the Bombers.
