Essendon Bombers vs Melbourne Demons Preview
Footy returns to the ‘G on Saturday for an all-important twilight affair between the Dons and the Dees.
Essendon’s finals hopes are well and truly alive after downing Hawthorn last week in Tassie, while the Dees will be eager to remain on top of the ladder after losing a thriller to Collingwood right before the bye.
The Dons have been playing some inspired footy of late, but the way they struggled to close the door last week against the Hawks doesn’t bode particularly well against a well-rested Melbourne outfit.
After the Dees lost to the Crows last month, they bounced back in a big way to thump the Dogs the next week, and as their 5-3 record after a loss suggests, they look a good bet to do the same.
You might be surprised to learn that the Bombers rank second in goals scored this year, but they might find this a tough task against a Melbourne team that has allowed the second-fewest down the other end.
Fresh from the bye and with a point to prove, this could be a statement game for the Dees.
