Sydney vs. Essendon
Friday, SCG 7:50pm, AEST
This game has the makings of a Friday night classic. The Swans are in hot form and at home, however, Essendon seem to step-up when facing big challenges.
The battle in the midfield should be interesting. There are a number of big names, however the Bombers statistically are actually one of the worse midfields in the league. They rank 17th in clearances, and 14th in contested disposals.
There is the chance of an upset here, as Essendon have the calibre to produce the odd stunning result. However, when deciding who to pick in this one, you can't go past the Swans at SCG.
Tip:Â Swans by 19
