Essendon Bombers host GWS Giants in Round 19 of the 2026 AFL season at Marvel Stadium on Sunday. Read on for our full match preview, AFL betting tips, and best Aussie Rules odds.
If Adam Kingsley was granted one wish in his side’s bid for a top 10 spot, it came true with a fixtured match against Essendon in R19.
The Giants kept their season well and truly alive with wins against Fremantle and Geelong over the past two weeks and will look to build on their 101.6% percentage against the Bombers.
Plus, Lachie Whitfield is in line to return from concussion, which is a huge inclusion.
The Bombers will likely welcome back experienced pair Jordan Ridley and Kyle Langford for Sunday’s clash, but it’s hard to see them covering the line (39.5) set out in this one.
