Essendon Bombers vs Collingwood Magpies Preview

Can Collingwood spoil Essendon’s tilt at a top-eight finish?

The answer is: No.

The Bombers win it, and they are in it.

Given I saw Collingwood get absolutely slaughtered by the Brisbane Lions (Proudly sponsored by Neds) last week and Essendon seems to be one of the inform teams of the competition right now, a Pies upset simply isn’t going to happen.

Dons fans have every right to be up and about, and even if that dreaded finals win streak does continue should they make finals they have plenty to be excited about given what expectations were brought on them heading into season 2021.

The end of the season couldn’t come soon enough for the Pies, it’s been difficult to say the least.

Essendon simply has too much to play for on Sunday and they should be able to do what they need to do.

Take the Dons to cover the line.
