Essendon Bombers vs Fremantle Dockers Preview
Bloody tough game to predict here. Essendon are playing good footy for large parts of games but not long enough to get the wins.
Fremantle are just a bit hard to read entirely at the moment as well. In Melbourne I can see why Essendon are favourites.
I like Fremantle here though, their best footy has been pretty good and if they can show up and perform I think they’ll be able to roll the Bombers here.
Head To Head Bet
We're tipping Fremantle Dockers to win at $2.18 odds.
