The case for a Bombers’ boilover

About this episode

The episode discusses the potential for upsets in upcoming AFL matches, focusing on Essendon's chances against Collingwood and other key matchups.

Essendon haven’t won on Anzac Day since COVID times, but Andrew Wu and Peter Ryan are yet to be convinced by Collingwood, and say the Dons are not without hope on Saturday. Gold Coast, likewise, pose a threat to Hawthorn’s winning streak, but would have to conquer their own Launceston hoodoo to cause an upset, while the Bulldogs, beset by injuries, face an almighty challenge to mark their premiership reunion with a win over the in-form Swans and the Cats take an imposing form line to Adelaide for their clash with the Power.
