Brisbane Lions vs Essendon Bombers Preview
It’s really been a nightmare start to the season for the Lions and this is another danger game for them.
The good news for them is that they return to the Gabba for this clash with Essendon who will be spending their second week on the road.
There’s no way i’ll be backing Brisbane at their short odds but I think they’ll be winning this one.
