The Swans pressure game was at another level last week, if both teams turn up it will certainly be entertaining
Swans by 3 goals

Both teams coming off strong performances but I think Sydney will get the job done at home in a hard fought game.

Good money for the Bombers. Can’t believe they are such long odds here. Sydney honeymoon period ends soon.

Are the Swans that good? I'll tip them but they gave up 33 scoring shots to Adelaide at the SCG 2 weeks ago.
I was thinking this. Adelaide kicked 11.22 and some sitters.

Essendon v Syd games are usuly close.

Wouldnt put it past Ess pulling off an upset.

As weird as it sounds Id give them more chance coming off a loss last week and 1-3

Essendon think they are not trash after beating St Kilda. Sydney to show them that they are. Swans by plenty
We're just a young and inconsistent side. We fielded the youngest and least experienced side in the competition every round this year.
I expect Sydney to beat us, but it could be closer than what people think given Sydney vs Essendon games are usually close.

First Swans game at the SCG with 100% capacity since the Covid outbreak and subsequent hubs.
A danger game for Sydney after accounting for Richmond at the MCG, can the team remain grounded and come out prepared to do the work needed for the win, and not just turn up expecting to win.

I know you probably get asked this a lot but what is that if you take out Franklin?

That gives a lot more info than just the averages.

You can see the Bombers have a lot more inexperience and less of the senior heads, despite both being considered young sides still.

Cheers. I thought it'd be a lot closer particularly with average goals hahah
 
Swans by 30+ unfortunately.

We are hot garbage at the SCG.

Hopefully we can continue what we did last week but very rare for us to back to back good performances.
