Essendon will be looking to return to the winners’ list when the side faces Collingwood in a Sunday twilight blockbuster at the MCG.
Captain Jobe Watson will bolster the Bombers’ stocks after overcoming a collarbone injury, while David Zaharakis will be hoping to replicate his Anzac Day best-on-ground form.
The last time the two teams met – in Round 5 on Anzac Day – Essendon fought off Collingwood 18.13 (121) to 10.15 (75).
