An intriguing match awaits on Saturday night of the AFL, as Geelong take on Essendon in front of what is set to be a big crowd at the MCG.
Big questions are being asked of Geelong's credentials after four losses in their last five games, the last of which was a bruising 63-point loss to Carlton.
Essendon bounced back from two losses in a row last weekend, comfortably beating West Coast to consolidate their spot in the top four.
