Essendon come up against bogey side and another contender for the top 4 in Casey this week, who have only played the 5 games but won them all, whilst the Bombers have 2 wins from their 6 games so far this season. Essendon have beaten Casey once since going stand alone and have lost their last 6 consecutive games against them, this whilst having a relatively strong VFL list to pick from unlike this years.
Essendon really struggled in their last start against Box Hill, only kicking 1 goal in the first half. However after half time they arrested the momentum to kick 6 goals to 5 in the second half and reducing the margin from 60 points to 51 at full time when it looked as if they would cop a 100 point loss. Martin Gleeson was really a class above with 30 disposals, 8 marks and a goal across half back whilst Andrew Phillips had 19 disposals and 11 marks in the ruck, Irish youngster Cian McBride celebrating his first game forward with 3 goals.
Casey's last start was all the way back in round 6 against Sydney, after a tight first half the Demons kicked away in the second half to round out 40 point winners. James Munro was a standout, collecting 23 disposals and kicking 3 goals from the midfield, former Bomber Mitch Brown kicking 2 goals from his 7 shots up forward as well. Oskar Baker and Jay Lockhart were also prolific with 26 disposals apiece for the Demons.
