Preview:
A highlight of the home and away season since 1995, this year’s Anzac Day clash between the Dons and Pies promises to be one of the most enthralling on paper. Both sides are in ripping form, with Essendon winning three on the trot and the Pies stringing together back-to-back wins. It’s the red and black that are two goal outsiders for this one, with forward Joe Daniher set to line up despite a short turnaround from last Friday’s 58-point drubbing of North Melbourne. Collingwood had an equally as dominant win against Brisbane at the Gabba, winning by 62 points. Despite the Bombers’ recent poor seasons, they last won the Anzac Day match in 2017, with Collingwood victorious by 49 points last season. After a meagre start to the season the scoreboard, Essendon has rocketed to be the second highest scoring team in the competition, with Collingwood close by in third. Essendon will want to make this game a high scoring affair as two high powered midfield’s go toe to toe. The Wolf sees the value with Essendon, who should give the Pies everything they’ve got. The Bombers also had a habit of beating top sides in the latter stages of last season and that trend could continue on Thursday.
