Hawthorn take on Essendon at MCG this Saturday. Here’s everything you need to know before you bet.
How good was it seeing Essendon win last week? Even if you’re not a Bombers fan, it was a great result for the struggling club. Despite the win over GWS, Nate Caddy didn’t kick a goal, which is surprising.
Caddy has been their best attacking threat all year, and it’s hard to keep a good man down. Our predictions have Caddy firing back with a big effort, and although scoring chances could be limited against Hawthorn, his tenacity sets him apart.
Caddy kicking 2+ goals is our best bet for this match.
Tip: Nate Caddy 2+ Goals @ .80
