Essendon Bombers vs Collingwood Magpies Preview
The traditional ANZAC Day game between Essendon and Collingwood will take place at the MCG on Monday afternoon and it’s the Pies who will start favourites.
Essendon have been terrible so far this season but after getting smashed in the media following their loss to Fremantle it’ll be interesting to see how they respond.
There will be no where to hide for the Bombers in their biggest fixture of the season.
Collingwood deserve to be favourites and I’m backing them to win this comfortably.
Head To Head Bet
