Essendon midfielder Brent Prismall reckons defeating Fremantle this coming Sunday could be a bigger task than ending St Kilda’s unbeaten 19-game winning streak, which the club achieved last weekend.

As underdogs, the Bombers managed a stunning yet surprising victory over St Kilda with a two-point win on Sunday.

However, Prismall, who debuted in 2006, said playing in Perth this coming Sunday will be a real test for the club.

He said while the club was looking to rectify the last time it played at Subiaco Oval when they lost to West Coast, playing in Perth presented many challenges to the eastern states club.

Prismall welcomed the season’s biggest upset but maintained that his club needed to show consistent form if it was to defeat the Dockers this weekend, particularly on the back having to overcome injuries to defenders Dustin Fletcher and Courtney Dempsey, who will both miss the clash with hamstring problems, and Patrick Ryder, has a knee injury.
