Essendon Bombers vs Sydney Swans Preview
The Bombers continue to disappoint after losing to West Coast last weekend.
What makes it even more disappointing was that they managed to beat St Kilda the previous week, giving their fans and punters alike a sense of false confidence.
The reality is that they are a bottom four side who can not play four quarters of footy.
They run into a Swans side that has been inconsistent during this season but find themselves inside the top six and within striking distance of a double chance come September.
I can’t see them dropping four points but they will need to keep control of the football and not allow Essendon to move the ball quickly through the middle of the MCG.
