Geelong Cats vs Essendon Bombers Preview
Essendon will travel down the freeway to take on Geelong at GMHBA Stadium for the first time in over 25 years.
Both teams have been playing well of late but find themselves going into this one off the back of a loss.
Geelong were well beaten by Brisbane last week but back at home this week they should be too strong for Essendon.
