Last time Essendon really smashed us as we gave a pretty insipid performance which turned out to be Bolton's last game. It will be interesting to see how much things have changed. Essendon like the ball bobbling out side so they get run and carry. Their mid-field can be very attacking and devastating but are not so good in hard contested in close football. Down hill skiers is the term that comes to mind. They don't have enough players who actually win the ball. I think they have a fairly strong defence with some really attacking options around pacy small forwards. However if they start losing in the middle the whole thing can fall apart very quickly. Kreuzer had a shocker last time so I expect Pittonet to be better for us in the ruck. Our forward line has a lot more options and our defence is very solid. Our weakness is pace, or lack of it, so Essendon could damage us, however if we turn up to play, and play out the whole game, we should win comfortably.
