Essendon will look to climb above Carlton and Collingwood into second position on the ladder when they host West Coast on Sunday afternoon.
A couple of losses in a row have seen them lose ground, and they now have a clutch of teams also on their tail.
West Coast meanwhile will be hoping the bye will have reinvigorated after their poor loss to bottom placed North Melbourne.
