Essendon must win their match against Gold Coast tonight if they are to have a realistic chance of making the finals.
They kept the dream alive last weekend in a heartstopping one-point win over Fremantle, and they will need to conjure up that spirit again at home.
Gold Coast haven't won a game on away from home all season, and Essendon will hope their road woes follow them in this one.
