Collingwood Magpies vs Essendon Bombers Preview
There were not many that thought this would be a blockbuster game with so many implications four or five weeks ago.
It has been an incredibly frustrating season for Bombers fans especially considering they have now won four of their last five.
And the game they lost, against West Coast, they were favoured to win.
Bombers fans are surely envious of Collingwood and were hoping for a similar rise to the top for their team.
Collingwood has now won their last eight in a row and every one has been by a margin of 1-39 points.
Essendon has been playing good football of late but the Pies have too much to play for and the odds are simply too close In my opinion.
