Essendon vs Sydney Preview

The Friday night fixture sees the 10th placed Essendon host the ladder leaders, Sydney, at Marvel Stadium and there is plenty at stake for both sides.

The Bombers sit just two points outside of the eight and can keep their finals hopes alive with a win, while a loss will spell an end to those hopes. Sydney can stitch up top spot with a win, while a loss puts them in danger of missing a home final.

The two sides were on the opposite ends of some frantic finishes last weekend. Sydney came back from 27 points down against Collingwood in the final term to claim a three-point victory, which snapped a three-game losing streak.

Essendon led Gold Coast late in their match, only to concede a goal after the siren with Mac Andrew converting, leaving the Bombers with a one-point defeat.

Chad Warner and Isaac Heeney loom as key player for the Swans and that duo were back to their brilliant best last weekend. Essendon can find plenty of footy in the middle via Nic Martin and Zach Merrett, but there are question marks on the Bombers ability to defend and score in key moments. Expect the Swans to get the job on Friday.
