THE LAST TIME THEY MET

First of all, it seems that whenever we play the Bombers on the MCG, it's their home game. Good for their financial bottom line, not ours. 

Second of all, the last time they met, it was Round 15, 2015 and we were raging favourites against a side that had been ripped apart by 110 points a week earlier by the Saints. 

The selected teams were as follows:-

ESSENDON 

B: Mark Baguley, Michael Hurley, James Gwilt
HB: Jackson Merrett, Jake Melksham, Ariel Steinberg, Martin Gleeson
C: Brent Stanton, Dyson Heppell, David Zaharakis
HF: Zach Merrett, Joe Daniher, Michael Hibberd
F: Patrick Ambrose, Cale Hooker, Jayden Laverde
FOLL: Shaun McKernan, Ben Howlett, Brendon Goddard
I/C: Alex Browne, Heath Hocking, Nick O'Brien, Jason Ashby, Shaun Edwards
EMG: Jonathan Giles, Elliott Kavanagh, Kyle Langford

IN: Patrick Ambrose, Jason Ashby, Alex Browne, Shaun Edwards, Heath Hocking, Jayden Laverde

OUT: Adam Cooney (hamstring), Courtenay Dempsey (omitted), Elliott Kavanagh (omitted), Jake Melksham (hamstring), Jobe Watson (shoulder)

NEW: Jayden Laverde (19, Western Jets)

MELBOURNE

B: Colin Garland, Lynden Dunn, Neville Jetta
HB: Jeremy Howe, Tom McDonald, Billy Stretch
C: Daniel Cross, Bernie Vince, Heritier Lumumba
HF: Alex Neal-Bullen, Chris Dawes, Jeff Garlett
F: Angus Brayshaw, Jesse Hogan, Jack Watts
Foll: Max Gawn, Nathan Jones, Jack Viney
I/C: Jay Kennedy-Harris, James Harmes, Aaron vandenBerg, Dom Tyson
EMG: Rohan Bail, Mark Jamar, Jack Fitzpatrick

IN: James Harmes, Jay Kennedy-Harris, Heritier Lumumba, Aaron vandenBerg

OUT: Rohan Bail, Matt Jones, Jake Spencer, Jimmy Toumpas (all omitted)

NEW: James Harmes (19, Dandenong Stingrays)

Third of all, after team selection on the Thursday nigh before the game, two more Essendon players dropped out with injury - Heath Hocking (back) and Jake Melksham (hamstring). They were replaced by virtual unknowns in Jason Ashby and Shaun Edwards.

The Bombers were at their lowest ebb.

Fourth of all, the lesson is that you can never be too overconfident when approaching any game of football. We all know the result of that game.
