05:59Essendon v Collingwood. Always a decent fixture, but on Anzac Day and with both sides in the top eight it feels there’s a touch more bite to this contest. The Bombers are coming off a 58-point drubbing of the Kangaroos, and after a slow start to the season there’s a sense John Worsfold’s men might be finding some form. It’s still early days, but with a huge crowd in always a chance to send an early season warning to rivals. It’s Anzac Day, it’s the MCG, it’s prime-time AFL.
