Essendon are out to rebound from last week’s loss to St Kilda when they host GWS on Sunday afternoon. Join The Roar for live scores from 2:10pm (AEST).
The Bombers’ bright start to life under Brad Scott hit its first snag with a loss to St Kilda last week, with the Dons unable to go with the Saints late after drawing level in the final term.
The Giants, meanwhile, head in having pushed Carlton all the way in a controversial match last week, and will undoubtedly put up another strong fight under the roof today.

33 scoring opportunities still a great effort your midfield brigade like most is the key.

You blew a chance to get a big % booster yesterday but got the win,need to capatilise when those opportunities present themselves

Nah the Suns have a good core but their coaching is flawed. The Giants have a lot more pain to come. They need to stop drafting kids from Melbourne
Charlie Keegan
Roar Guru
Yeah I’ve accepted that 2-3 wins from that stretch of six matches is acceptable, but I’m prepared for losing them all because that is where we are at. As long as we push those sides and show a semblance of a game plan I’m happy
Maxy
Roar Rookie
Think that is a good thing,the tough matches,especially early in the season.Ports draw has been tough considering where we finished last year.Brisbane Collingwood[away] Crows Sydney[away] now Dogs next.Pre season talk gets people excited and reality can hit hard .It can show where your club is really at and what needs addressing to improve and match the better teams and gives you some breathing space to try and fix them
Charlie Keegan
Roar Guru
True I’ll take it but I’ve realised that Essendon have had a much nicer fixture this year as well but we go into some real tough matches now

The Giants like the Suns seem to be going nowhere......again!
Chanon
