Preview:
The Giants have won at least one finals game in the past three seasons but just can’t get over the hump and there is fear that their premiership window may be closing ever so slightly. They host an Essendon side that will fancy themselves as finals contenders after winning 10 of their final 13 games after losing six from eight to start the year, including a loss to bottom-placed Carlton. Joe Daniher and Cale Hooker are the only injury concerns for the red and blacks, while the Giants look lean in the ruck with Shane Mumford and Jonathan Patton both out. Essendon dominated GWS in Sydney a season ago by 35 points and while The Wolf thinks this one will be a bit closer, the result will be the same.
