Western Bulldogs vs Essendon Bombers Preview
The Western Bulldogs will take on Essendon at Marvel Stadium on Sunday and it’s a huge game for both teams.
The Bulldogs sit at the top of the AFL ladder but will need to win to ensure they remain there. Meanwhile Essendon need to win to keep their finals hopes alive.
Western Bulldogs are obviously a class above at the moment and I expect them to be too good for Essendon here.
