Melbourne take on Essendon at MCG this Saturday. Here’s everything you need to know before you bet.
A quick turnaround for the Dees following a narrow eight-point win over the Pies on Monday. Brody Mihocek will be out indefinitely after fracturing his neck, but the Dees won’t be too concerned against a Bombers outfit averaging the third-fewest goals in the league. That said, the Dons surprised Melbourne at Gather Round earlier in the year, running out seven goals winners thanks to a masterclass from Nate Caddy and Archie Roberts. Essendon dominated the clearances and played with an aggressive attacking edge, lapping up the wet conditions to show some signs of life. Things have gone south since then, but the Dees could be just as vulnerable coming off an emotionally charged King’s Birthday win.
Tip: Bombers to Cover (+30.5 Points) @ $1.90
