Essendon big man Tom Bellchambers dominated in the ruck for Bendigo while up forward it was Matt Little who led the way bagging six goals.
Bombers rookie Cory Dell’Olio also provided a strong target up forward kicking three goals while Travis Colyer played a strong game booting two goals.
As has been the case for most of the season rookie listed Brendan Lee showed his class in another performance that would have the Essendon match committee excited.
In more positive news for Essendon, injured duo Jason Winderlich and Tayte Pears both got through the encounter unscathed showing promising signs as they push for senior selection.
Bendigo now sits in equal third position on the ladder and will face Casey next Saturday afternoon at Windy Hill.
