You can look at Essendon’s current form in two ways. Some might think the Bombers are flying at the moment. They have won the past three matches and are starting to show some good form. Others might err on the side of caution and not get too carried away by Essendon’s recent record - they have beaten West Coast, Carlton and Collingwood. All three teams sit below them on the ladder. The one thing that is agreed is that the real test will come this Saturday when they face top-four side Sydney at the MCG.
