The Sydney Swans romped to an impressive 105-76 win over the Fremantle Dockers in their last game as they made it two wins in a row. Can they give their finals hopes another shot in the arm?
Head to Head
The Bombers secured the win when the pair met back in 2022, with this ending a run of three victories in a row for the Swans. In their last 10, the Bombers have four wins, while the Swans have triumphed six times.
Essendon Bombers Form
The Essendon Bombers have been poor of late, with their two-game losing run seeing their hopes of taking a place in the finals take a real hit.
Defeats to the Geelong Cats and Western Bulldogs have formed part of the Bombers notching four defeats in their last five, with this forcing Essendon down to 11th on the ladder.
While they are only two points short of Geelong in eighth, their form is a major worry.
