<p style='margin-bottom: 0cm; background: #fcfcfc;] Recent game - Round 2 2013: Essendon scored an incredible 148 point victory over Melbourne at the MCG last year winning 184 to 36. Eight Essendon players broke the ton led by Watson with 166, Heppell with 149 and Bellchambers with 144. Hocking was sent to tag Nathan Jones and kept him to 80 SC points.
<p style='margin-bottom: 0cm; background: #fcfcfc;]
<p style='margin-bottom: 0cm; background: #fcfcfc;] In my opinion, the options would be Ablett against the Eagles, a Collingwood player against the Western Bulldogs, a Geelong player against St Kilda or Watson against Melbourne. In my view, I would pick Ablett, then Pendlebury, then Beams and then Selwood.
<p style='margin-bottom: 0cm; background: #fcfcfc;]
