Show Preview
A double-header at the Adelaide Oval begins with Essendon and Melbourne locking horns in a Gather Round blockbuster. Join The Roar for live scores from 4:10pm (AEST).
The Bombers are 3-1 and flying under Brad Scott, but face their biggest test yet in the form of premiership favourites the Demons. Missing the match is former Dee Sam Weideman, who was concussed in the Bombers’ win over GWS last week.
The Dees welcome back Ben Brown from a back injury, but will be without defender Jake Lever. Nevertheless, the Dees have recorded impressive back-to-back wins over Sydney and West Coast, and are comfortable favourites to make it three victories in a row here.
