Essendon will seek to win it's fourth straight VFL game when they meet standalone club Williamstown, who have only won the one game so far this year. The recent head to head between the clubs has been favoured to the Seagulls, winning 3 of the last five clashes however have been on a 5 game losing streak as the cellar dwellers of the VFL, whilst Essendon have won 3 in a row including two upsets against current top 8 sides.
Williamstown trailed from start to finish against Sydney, losing by a whopping 111 points as they barely fired a shot in anger the entire game. Former AFL listed Hawk Teia Miles had 27 disposals through the midfield for the Seagulls, whilst Daly Andrews, Darby Henderson and Michael Ktona kicked 2 goals apiece up front for them.
Essendon won it's third game in a row against a finals contender in Sandringham, leading from the 8th minute of the first quarter until the end of the game. Tom Cutler was prolific yet again with 31 disposals playing a mixture of half back and wing, whilst key talls Kaine Baldwin and James Stewart kicked 3 goals each, with rookie listed tall Patrick Voss returning from injury with 2 goals as well.
Honestly this is the first game I come into with any confidence this year. Essendon by 23. Possible side:
FB: Alastair Lord - Cody Brand - Josh Eyre
HB: Tom Cutler - Brandon Zerk-Thatcher - Garrett McDonagh
MF: Will Snelling - Alec Waterman - Brayden Ham
HF: Aaron Francis - Cian McBride - Tom Hird
FF: Jye Menzie - Kaine Baldwin - Patrick Voss
OB: Nick Bryan - Stefan Rasinac - Brad Bernacki
IC: Joe Atley - Sam Conforti - Dylan Landt - Jake Sutton
23P: Billy Cootee
