Essendon Bombers vs Melbourne Demons Preview
The first of the Saturday doubleheader at Adelaide Oval is easily the biggest game between 3rd placed Melbourne and 4th placed Essendon since the 2004 EF (the last time the Bombers won a final).
Since Brad Scott took over the top job at Bomberland, there seems to be a sense of purpose and discipline with the Dons who have been able to fend off opposition coming back at them.
It’s been great to see the likes of Jake “The Package” Stringer and Mason Redman up and about enjoying their footy right now.
Melbourne looks like they are just starting to ramp up another campaign for which the Dees will go deep into September.
They also don’t mind playing on the road having won 13 of their last 14 interstate and like it at Adelaide Oval.
The Demons should be simply too good for Essendon and they should be able to cover the -24.5 line in this one.
