AFL: AFL: Joey Montagna believes the time is now for Essendon to defeat a team they've struggled with in recent times, the Cats, and cement themselves into the top 4.

The Cats are looking to correct a horror run of form that has seen them lose six of their last seven clashes in 2024 when they take on an in-form Essendon Bombers outfit at the MCG on Saturday night.

The Bombers have not beaten the Cats since 2018 and have only defeated them on four occasions in their last 25 meetings dating back to 2004, but are primed to break their hoodoo under Saturday night lights. They’ll be hoping to celebrate former captain Dyson Heppell’s 250th match in style in this year’s annual Country game with Geelong.
