Essendon Bombers vs Collingwood Magpies Preview

The site of a packed MCG for the ANZAC game is always a treat, and considering what’s on the line this year, it’s safe to say the atmosphere will be at fever pitch.

It’s basically season over for the Bombers should they lose, and on the back of last week’s awful second-half display against Fremantle, it’s no surprise to find them as heavy underdogs.

Collingwood, meanwhile, turned in a respectable performance without Jamie Elliott against the Lions at the Gabba – a performance Craig McRae will be hoping his side can build on after losing on the big stage last year.

The Bombers have been the most disappointing team to start the season and with no real lack of identity or purpose, it’s hard to back them with any confidence.

Collingwood has enormous problems up forward, but the way they fought back against the Lions last week was encouraging to say the least.

The Pies have had no trouble moving the ball inside 50 so far, while they’ve also been one of the better intercept teams defensively.

Until the Bombers start to show us something, back against them.
