TIME TO STAND UP AND BE COUNTED
If the jury was out before Essendon's match against Port last week they are now close to making their decision. And it might not be the verdict Essendon fans want to hear if the Bombers don't turn their form around from last week. It is a case of now or never for Essendon if they want to taste finals action come September. After nine rounds the Bombers have four wins posted on the board and have the challenge of overcoming the second top side to record their fifth win. West Coast have an exciting young team and have already proved this season they are good enough to win not only at home but also on the road.
