The Pies are in red hot form early into the season which only gives more evidence to suggest that this is in fact a simulated league. But that doesn't stop the Pies fans from getting up and about as they sit comfortably in second place on the ladder after Round 7 having only lost one game so far. Coach ClarkeM says he is "looking forward to the day that means so much to so many people". He has already sent a stern message to Essendon fans on Twitter this week threatening anyone who boo's a champion.​

[TD valign="top"]
Essendon has started 2020 with a shaky start, winning 3 of their past 7 matches leaving them in 14th place on the E-AFL Premiership Ladder. Coach Loonerty expects the big occasion that is ANZAC Day Football will see the Bombers return to their best in what is always a game that either team could win on their day. So confident is Loonerty, he's already given E-AFL Coaches Award Votes to Dylan Shiel. League officials are now investigating any signs of further corruption.​
[/TD]

Key match-up: John Noble v Michael Hurley - John Noble has been a surprise packet in Full-Forward as of late - it will be very interesting to see whether Michael Hurley can combat his aerial ability. Hurley's ability to out-muscle Noble will come into play and if he can keep Noble to 3 goals or less, he will have done his job.
