Melbourne have been red hot at the MCG this year recording wins in all 7 of their games. Essendon on the other hand have been hapless this season with only one win to their name, albeit a 45 point victory against Melbourne at Marvel Stadium back in Round 5. It looks to be a matter of how far for the in-form Demons at the home of footy.
The Demons have won 3 from their last 5. Their MCG win record is no anomaly with wins against Collingwood, Hawthorn, Brisbane and Gold Coast to their name. The Bombers have lost 8 straight and have struggled to establish any defensive unity whilst lacking a brand with the footy. Melbourne look likely to cover the line and you’d expect their stars to feast on the confidence lacking Dons.
