Essendon Bombers vs West Coast Eagles Preview
The market paints a compelling picture heading into this bottom six clash on Saturday.
At one point looking like a finals lock, the Dons have fallen off a cliff in recent weeks, losing three in a row to the Cats, Dogs, and Swans.
Compared to last year, the season has still been a success under first-year head coach Brad Scott, but given Essendon ranks 18th in clearances and 15th in forward half entries, it’s fair to say the Bombers still have some improving to do.
Fortunately, Scott’s young side has a chance to hone their craft against the current favourites for the wooden spoon.
West Coast snuck home in a thriller to win just their second game of the season last week against North, but since they gave up 26 scoring shots to the Bombers when they met back in May, regular programming right resume.
