Show Preview
Sydney co-captain Luke Parker brings up his 250th game… but will surely be expecting a fired-up Essendon to be out to make the day a difficult one. Join The Roar for live scores and rolling coverage from 1:45pm (AEST).
Parker’s infamous taunt for Dylan Shiel and the Bombers earlier this year won’t have been forgotten, and has dominated much of the build-up to this game.
However, the Swan has built a reputation as one of the game’s toughest customers, and there surely isn’t much the Bombers can throw his way that he won’t be prepared to take.
His Swans are looking the goods for September, and even as a top-four challenger, having dispatched St Kilda last week.
Defender Justin McInerney returns after a stint in health and safety protocols, and is the Swans’ only change for their trip to the MCG.
The Bombers’ season officially sunk to new depths with a loss to the previously rudderless West Coast last week, but if there’s anything that can get them playing for pride, it’s getting a chance to square the ledger with Parker.
Star midfielder Darcy Parish is a welcome return after a fortnight off with a badly corked calf, while young gun Archie Perkins was a late withdrawal from the team due to his own calf ailment.
