Essendon and Box Hille face off this week in a game that is vital for the latter's hopes for getting into the top 4 in their quest for back to back flags. Essendon have won 3 of their last 5 games whilst the Hawkes have won 2 and drawn another in their past 5. Essendon hold a strong head to head record against their arch rivals, winning 4 of the past 5 encounters between the sides, Box Hille's last win coming in 2015.
Essendon won their last start by 41 points against Preston in a tightly contested game up until time on in the third quarter, the Dons piling on the last 7 goals of the game. Brayden Ham was a standout for the Dons with 3 goals in some impressive finishing work, whilst Martin Gleeson put his hand up for senior selection with 23 disposals running off half back, and David Myers controlling the centre of the ground, having 31 disposals and 2 goals.
Box Hille snapped a 3 game winless run with a 6 goal to 3 second half after trailing at the main stanza against Williamstown. Teia Miles, Dylan Moore and Jackson Ross kicked 2 apiece up front for the Hawkes, whilst Luke Meadows was strong in the middle, collecting 28 disposals in what was awarded best afield for Box Hille.
Dons actually have a great record against the Hawks, so us by 15. Possible side:
Aaron Francis - Michael Hartley - Matthew Dea
Martin Gleeson - Brandon Zerk-Thatcher - Ben McNiece
Jordan Ridley - David Myers - Tom Jok
Jordan Houlahan - Mitchell Brown - Brayden Ham
Mark Baguley - James Stewart* - Noah Gown
Zachary Clarke - Trent Mynott - Will Snelling
Jake Long - Ray Connellan - Danny Younan - Heath Hocking
Aaron Heppell- Liam McKenna - Josh Tynan - Irving Mosquito
23P: Riley Bowman
