Essendon Bombers vs North Melbourne Kangaroos Preview
Three wins in a row was ended for Essendon in the most brutal way when they lost via a Jamie Elliot kick after the siren on Sunday afternoon.
Just like in seasons past, the Bombers are finding some form late in the year but it is too little, too late.
North Melbourne are planted to the bottom of the AFL ladder with just two wins in season 2022.
They suffered a 46 point loss to Hawthorn last weekend which is the 12th time in 14 games that they have lost by 40+.
Zach Merrett collected 38 touches against the Pies and continues to find the footy and Peter Wright is capable of getting a hold of the Kangaroos defence.
