After the Richmond and St. Kilda debacles a couple of weeks ago, I would have given us no chance against Essendon in Melbourne.
However, after a solid, but unspectacular start to the season, Essendon seem to have come off the boil a little bit. They weren't exactly convincing winners against the Giants, and Melbourne managed to humiliate them last week. Two ordinary performances in a row against bottom four sides.
We played an absolute cracker of a game against them in Round 20 last year, when we had more scoring shots and lost by a point.
Soooooo.....if we turn up with the right attitude, and we play a four quarter game, we just might get over the line this time.
Swans by 1 point.
P.S. It won't surprise me if there are more Swans supporters at Etihad Stadium this Saturday night compared to the SCG last Sunday.
