The highlight match tonight is between Essendon Bombers and West Coast Eagles. The opening bounce will commence at 7:40pm Melbourne time with the game being played at Etihad Stadium. The last time these two teams met was in Round 22 last year in which West Coast won by fifty seven points.
West Coast will go into the match as the only unbeaten team in the competition which Essendon will be hoping to change, the Bombers have only lost the one match in the first six rounds.
Essendon are coming off a big win over Brisbane last week whilst West Coast had a hard fought match with the Kangaroos but where too good in the final quarter and ran away with the match.
West Coast regain Mitch Brown and Ryan Neates for the match whilst Essendon have made no changes to their team.
