The prediction
Essendon have managed to lift themselves off rock-bottom, albeit still level on points with Richmond, after their second win against the GWS Giants a few weeks ago. They succumbed to a 91-point demolition at the hands of Hawthorn last week.
The Adelaide Crows come into this one on the back of a surprising and frustrating 38-point loss at home to Collingwood in their most recent outing last weekend, ending what was a three-match winning streak for the South Australians.
Adelaide have been more inconsistent than they would have wanted but they remain comfortably inside the top ten and the play-off places and they should win this one quite comfortably at Marvel Stadium in Docklands.
Essendon vs Adelaide tip: Adelaide to win -25.5 points
