Essendon will be out to continue their strong form when they head to Sydney to face GWS. Join The Roar for live scores and rolling coverage from 2:10pm (AEST).
Darcy Parish and Andrew McGrath return in a further boost for the Bombers, who are in the midst of a resurgence to end the season with a number of electric performances.
The Giants, in contrast, can’t get out of a wretched 2022 quickly enough, and with Tim Taranto joining their list of outs with concussion, it’s hard to see the embattled club fighting its way out of the mire in the last three rounds.

Would have preferred a win, but as a Bombers supporter I'm happy with our progress. Players are improving steadily, will be better next year and scary in 2024! Well done lads :happy:

I think Hind should be dropped for the rest of the year and parish needs to be traded we need defensively accountable Midfielders

This is a much better performance. McVeigh's spray seems to have worked today
