How good were the Bombers?

Question

What a win. To play like c**p in the first half, give away a five goal lead to the premiership favourites and still win. All this without their best midfielder (Stanton) for a large part of the game. Could be the turning point of the season for the Dons (just like '93).

Answer 1

very impressed nothing i like better than watching the interstaters go down by a point , the grand final last year, the swans last week and now west coast yes life is pretty good at the moment

Answer 2

The way Essendon are playing is showing every team how tough they are with Sydney and West Coast going down by 1 point . I wonder how much they will beat Port Adelaide by, if they win? Go Bombers!

Answer 3

it was a great win hirdy really stepped up and scotty lucas bootin five goals god bless david hille for the point if dons can beat premiers i dont see why we cant beat other contenders like colling wood

Answer 4

Just be thankful that West Coast can't kick straight. And also, that they didn't have Cousins, Embley, Hansen, Waters, Nikoski, Armstrong, Butler or Graham and Judd was on one leg all night.

Lets see how they go in the return match at Subiaco in Rd22

Answer 5

i totally agreee...after last years woeful season, they are really kicking ar#e and i am stoked.....hope James Hird hangs around for another season as he is back to his brilliant best

GO THE BOMBERS!!!!!!

Answer 6

homer-just be thankful you still have hird and fletcher because without them last night Essendon would have been goners,it was a good win but a worry you guys are still relying on your oldest players.

Answer 7

today   tomorrow just might be different.

Answer 8

That was pretty amazing, 42 - 12 at half time then they blew away to win for the second week in a row by one point. This could be the turning point of their season but last week was pretty special as well dont forget. James Hird is defitinely playing like he has a few games left in him with 32 possies to help his side get over the line. Lets hope they can keep up the good form!

Answer 9

Good Win but they wont get close to da cats

Answer 10

Fantastic, I was not expecting Essendon to win but they did by a close 1 point.

Answer 11

Everyone should just calm down about the bombers. They aren't as good as you might think. Sydney are playing pretty poorly at the moment and the eagles are not as good away from home. However, that being said, they were both very good wins. I dont think the teams outside the 8 at the moment will make the 8. The dons should make the 8 and hopefully be belted by the Roos in the 1st round!
