Essendon has taken some big scalps this season and pulled off some unlikely wins at times. But one wonders whether they'll be able to climb an even bigger mountain this week. The Bombers did have the last laugh when these two teams last met, however that was an unlikely victory after Matthew Knights' team crawled off the canvas in the final moments. Collingwood's midfield has been terrific in recent weeks and with at least one key inclusion on Friday night it should again be superior to its opposition. Jobe Watson, who injured an ankle against Carlton last week, is a big blow for Essendon, while Mark McVeigh's decision to catch up with a former teammate will only further help the Pies' cause. Given those factors, Collingwood's forwards should see plenty of footy, and recent weeks have shown just how damaging they can be
