Bombers 1.7.6 (57)

ESSENDON continues to pile on the pressure against GWS Giants with Patrick Ryder and Heath Hocking extending the Bombers' lead to 50 points.

Hocking kicked the Dons' first goal of the second quarter snapping from the top of the square.

Enter Ryder who marked Michael Hurley's centering kick for the second in a hurry to put paid to the young Giants.

Giants skipper Phil Davis is under siege in the back half defending the Bombers onslaught. Davis has picked up eight disposals including three marks.

Meanwhile Callan Ward is off the ground after copping a heavy knock in the first quarter.


Ward, one of the Giants most important playmakers, had just one disposal to his name.

IT'S getting ugly at Manuka Stadium with Essendon skipping away late in the first quarter.

The Dons trailled the Giants by seven points early in the term before goals to Jackson Merrett, Jobe Watson, Brendon Goddard and Michael Hibberd silenced the home crowd.

Goddard's was the pick of the goals converting a difficult shot from deep in the pocket.

The Giants, set to unleash No.2 draft pick Jono O'Rourke against the Bombers, two losses have been by a combined five points at the hands of Carlton and Brisbane last week.

Essendon has named a largely unchanged line up for the tonight's match at Manuka Stadium with Tayte Pears and Nathan Lovett-Murray added to the squad.

Veteran ruckman David Hille was left out.

Meanwhile, Giants posterboy Tom Scully is back after missing last week's loss to the Lions with a minor knee injury.

CARLTON takes on Adelaide in game two of tonight's pre-season twin bill, with the winner moving into next week's NAB Cup grand final.

A win for the Blues at AAMI Stadium against the Crows would cap off a sterling start to master coach Mick Malthouse's tenure at Visy Park.

Schedule

GWS v Essendon at Manuka Stadium from 6.30pm
Adelaide v Carlton at AAMI Stadium from 8.30pm
