West Coast Eagles vs Essendon Bombers Preview
Big game coming up for both clubs here. West Coast will host Essendon in the second of two Friday night games this weekend.
The Eagles are having the season from hell but Essendon aren’t going much better despite a good win last round.
We saw some good signs from West Coast last round and at home they’ll have to fancy their chances.
Surely, surely Essendon can get the job done here though. If they don’t I’m not backing them again this season.
