Follow along for all the major moments and reaction as the Bombers and Eagles square off in a Sunday AFL clash.
There is little doubt Essendon are one of the most improved sides this season but, as the run home to the finals begins, the question is whether they have what it takes to not only remain in the top eight, but even in the top four, and deliver their first September win since 2004.
While they appear well-placed, two defeats on the eve of the mid-season break, to the 10th-placed Suns on the Gold Coast, and to the second-placed Blues, hit the pause button after what had been an unbeaten seven-game run.Now comes a potentially defining stretch of games, beginning on Sunday afternoon against the lowly West Coast at Marvel Stadium, where the Bombers are expected to take care of business, before major tests against Geelong, Collingwood, Melbourne and even the Crows.
