Essendon vs GWS GIANTS Preview
The Bombers’ season continues to unravel, with six straight losses and a growing injury list headlined by Nic Martin and Will Setterfield. Liam McMahon becomes the 13th debutant in red and black this year, while Nate Caddy and Ben Hobbs are also out. GWS will be without Jesse Hogan and Josh Kelly but welcome back Stephen Coniglio as they push for a top-four spot. The Giants have won four on the trot and look well placed to extend that run.
Head To Head Bet
We're tipping GWS GIANTS to win at $1.07 odds.
