Essendon vs Collingwood Preview

The Friday night clash between Collingwood and Essendon shapes as a pivotal game for both teams, given their positions on the ladder.

Essendon currently sit in 4th spot, despite a recent slump where they’ve lost three of their last four matches. Their most recent game was a disappointing loss to Geelong at the MCG, where they struggled in the second half, managing just two goals.

Collingwood, on the other hand, is 6th on the ladder but has also had a mixed time of it of late with two wins in their last five matches. They were defeated by Gold Coast in their previous outing at People First Stadium.

In their last encounter on ANZAC Day, the two teams played out a thrilling draw with both sides finishing on 85 points each. Zach Merrett was outstanding for Essendon, earning the ANZAC Medal with 30 disposals and 10 score involvements. Nick Daicos played a crucial role for Collingwood with 27 disposals and significant metres gained.

Interestingly, Collingwood has maintained an unbeaten streak against Essendon in their last five encounters, adding an extra layer of anticipation to this upcoming blockbuster.
