After a period of optimism with wins at home against Richmond, Freo & Melbourne, our expectations have come back down to earth with back to back home losses to the Saints & Norf.
The eagles are well rested and will fly business class to Victoria to play 4th placed Essendon, whom we played 6.5 weeks ago.
Last 3 Encounters
WCE (11.5.71) lost to ESS (11.11.77)
ESS (10.13.73) def WCE (11.6.72)
WCE (6.10.46) lost to ESS (14.12.96)
Player movements
We'll be missing prime movers in Kelly & Reid while Sheed will be an omission due to injury.
Allen will be an inclusion after match sim, and one would think hunt will be an in also.
Things to Look out For
Will the return on Allen effect the form of Waterman?
Will our midfield be smashed for pace as we are pretty one paced. Petch & Ryan may offer some zip if sporadically placed in there.
Can our coaches identify an essendon weakness and get our players to exploit it?
