Overview

  • Essendon will host Gold Coast at Marvel Stadium on Saturday at 12.35pm AEST as part of Round 17.
  • The Suns halted a three-game losing streak with a win over Melbourne and hold a 9–5 record that keeps their first finals berth in sight.
  • The Bombers return from their mid-season bye on a four-game losing run to sit at 6–8 and outside the top eight.
  • Gold Coast has rested veteran ruckman Jarrod Witts in favour of Ned Moyle while Essendon omits Matt Guelfi, Vigo Visentini and Darcy Parish.
  • Nate Caddy’s over-the-shoulder goal in Round 12 remains a leading contender for the AFL’s goal of the year and underscores the rise of emerging talent.
