Essendon Bombers vs Sydney Swans Preview

This is a must-win game for both sides with the Swans pushing for the top four, and Essendon must win this if they want to keep their finals prospects alive.

Essendon blew a chance to secure the eighth spot on the ladder last Sunday against the Giants, currently in ninth place, and can’t afford any slip-ups from here.

Like the decision made by the tribunal or not, Lance Franklin was able to overturn his one-match suspension for striking and will play this Saturday night against the Bombers.

Buddy is now just 17 goals away from 1000 in his career, and he loves playing against Essendon be it as a Hawk or Swan.

When these two sides last met, Buddy kicked a bag of three and there’s no reason why he can’t do it again this Saturday night.

This game is a bit of a hard one to tip, it mostly depends on what Essendon side rocks up, but I’m fairly confident Buddy has another 3+ bag of goals in him in this clash so I’ll back it outright.
