The prediction
Essendon sit rock-bottom in the AFL with just one victory and 16 defeats in their table. The hosts head into this one on the back of an annihilation, succumbing to a 90-point defeat to the defending champions the Brisbane Lions last week.
They now face a GWS Giants side that managed a 13-point victory against Geelong in their most recent outing at the ENGIE Stadium in Sydney. They are now pushing for the top ten and the playoff places, despite a largely frustrating season.
The frustrating season is being eased by back-to-back victories recently and so the GWS Giants would have to be viewed as firm favourites against Essendon here.
