Collingwood Magpies vs Essendon Bombers Preview

The 30th edition of the ANZAC Day clash between Collingwood (5-1) and Essendon (3-2) promises to be a thriller. Collingwood arrives in top form with five straight wins, while Essendon has shown resilience, with three consecutive victories despite an injury-ravaged start. The Bombers’ recent trend of covering the line suggests they’ll give the Magpies a tough challenge, but Collingwood’s firepower, including their dominant record at the MCG, should see them prevail.
