Essendon Bombers vs North Melbourne Kangaroos Preview
Essendon almost made it 4 wins in a row last week but a Jamie Elliot goal on the siren broke their hearts.
This week they take on North Melbourne who are clearly having a difficult season but have been shorting better signs the last month.
Essendon are playing the better football of late though and unless they drop of severely this is a game they should be winning comfortably.
Backing Essendon to by by 40+.
