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.

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.
