If you want the season from hell than Essendon is your team where they have managed to slide down the ladder after every round.
Round 1 - 2nd, 293% / Round 2 - 4th, 210% / Round 3 - 4th, 191% / Round 4 - 7th, 131% / Round 5 - 8th, 96% / Round 6 - 11th, 78% / Round 7 - 11th, 74% / Round 8 - 12th, 72% / Round 9 - 14th, 63% / Round 10 - 14th, 60%
It's no question injuries ruined they're season with the 2nd highest number of players missing at the moment (8), 1 behind St Kilda (9) but a league high 7 missing for the rest of the season, and had been the case for a month now.
The Bombers have an injury depeeted Hawks up this week at Windy Hill and then Sydney in Coffs Harbour so I would love to see them go all-out in the Hawks game, who were exposed last week v Port who took it to them at clearance without a 1st sting ruck which then put their defense under a huge amount of pressure to the tune of 94pts allowed (48pts the season high points allowed for the season before this game) and a history high for their AFLW team.
The Bombers will have a huge ruck advantage in Hales, they should have the midfield advantage with Prespakis, Nanscawen and Cain so hopefully they don't stack the back line with extra's like they have been and free the offense.
Brisbane's best might be the 2nd best in the league but have still a looked off a touch from Melbourne and the Hawks until now, but availability might be their best ability going into finals with a sliding Hawks and a still somewhat untested Melbourne.
Today we look at:
- The Essendon Numbers Game (Again)
- A Wing-Off
- Essendon Going Inside Forward 50
- Essendon Too Slow to Release
- Essendon Forward Press Defense
