Essendon take on GWS Giants at Marvel Stadium this Sunday. Here’s everything you need to know before you bet.
Things have somehow gone from worse to deplorable at the Hangar.
The Bombers suffered a humiliating 90-point defeat at the Gabba last Sunday, and things aren’t about to get any easier with the red-hot Giants coming to town.
To their credit, the Dons showed some late fight kicking seven goals, although it’s fair to say Brisbane probably put the cue in the rack.
The Giants, meanwhile, handed Geelong a shock 13-point loss thanks to a monster day out from Clayton Oliver and Toby Greene.
Former Essendon forward Jake Stringer is one to keep an eye on this clash, but with the effort level and body language of key leaders like Andrew McGrath and Zach Merrett really beginning to show, the Bombers could be on the backfoot early if they don’t commit to taking the game on.
Prediction: Giants 40+ @ $1.82
Value: Giants to Win & Over 177.5 Total Points @ $2.02
Player Pick: Jake Stringer 3+ Goals @ $1.77
