West Coast Eagles vs Essendon Bombers Preview
When you’re doing footy tipping, sometimes it’s best to keep things simple.
West Coast playing at home – tip the Eagles.
West Coast playing away – don’t tip the Eagles (bar their win against the Hawks a couple of weeks ago)
Essendon has developed a reputation as the “No Frills Bombers” and has been a bit hit and miss this season, but this is to be expected given where the Dons are at.
The Dons will take plenty of confidence from a big win, even if it was against lowly North Melbourne last week but backing it up against the Eagles in Perth is a big ask.
Again, we just need to keep this one simple.
The line has given the Eagles a four-goal head start, and they should cover it.
