While still mathematically possible, Essendon’s chances of playing finals football this season seem almost out of reach as a disappointing Bombers outfit went down to a spirited Kangaroos by 42 tonight at The Dome. After a confidence-boosting win only a week ago, it was a lacklustre Essendon that never looked like threatening the Kangaroos.
Essendon has been forced to make a late change to its side to take on the Kangaroos at The Dome this evening with youngster Henry Slattery being forced out with calf soreness. Slattery will be replaced by Jobe Watson who has been in terrific form in the VFL side in recent weeks. The Kangaroos have also made a change with Jess Sinclair being replaced in the selected side by Sav Rocca.
