Adelaide vs Essendon Prediction
An exciting Friday night of footy is set to take place when the Adelaide Crows take on the Essendon Bombers at Adelaide Oval.
Matthew Nicks side cranked up the pressure in the final term against the undefeated Blues, kicking the last three goals of the contest to hold onto a much-needed two-point win, which is their first of the season. Substitute Sam Berry was the hero in the fourth quarter with nine disposals and the match-winning long-range snap.
Veteran Taylor Walker & Izak Rankine in his new role starred for the Crows, combining for seven goals, whilst Ben Keays also kicked three and accumulated 20 disposals.
Elsewhere, the Bombers returned to the winner’s list in style after an embarrassing 69 point gather round defeat against Port Adelaide. Despite being outplayed in the first half, they remained in the contest and ran over the top of the Bulldogs in the second-half off the back of forward-half pressure.Â
Sam Durham was superb in limiting the impact of Western Bulldogs superstar Marcus Bontempelli and with Matt Crouch likely to miss with suspension, could he play a similar role on Rory Laird or Jake Soligo?
All of Essendon’s off-season recruits have delivered for the Bombers. However, Ben McKay has arguably been the standout, conceding just five goals this season from his direct opponents.Â
Prediction: Essendon by 25 points
Key Matchup: Tex Walker vs Ben McKay
