GWS Giants vs Essendon Bombers Preview
This is an elimination final.
Win and you’ll spend a couple of hours in the eight.
Lose and you book the pub for Mad Monday.
GWS managed to drop out of the eight last week after getting comfortably beaten by Port last weekend and Essendon have won some close ones against West Coast and North Melbourne which has hardly impressed anybody.
Essendon and GWS have had some close encounters in recent years, with five of the last six games having been decided by 15 points or less, however, when these two last met back in Round 3 of this season; the Dons could have easily beaten the Giants by a lot more than 13 points having kicked 11 goals 22 behinds for the day.
The Dylan Shiel Cup should be another close one and the tri-bet is a great value play for a match like this.
