The Bendigo Bombers have turned around a four-game losing streak and put their season back on track after posting a convincing 96-point win over Frankston at Windy Hill today.
Eighth-placed Bendigo were all class, leading the match from the outset and improving their lead as the game progressed to claim victory over 14th-placed Frankson.
The win improves Bendigo's win-loss record to 6-5 at the mid-way mark of the VFL season with the Bombers still well in the hunt for a finals berth.
Strong perfromances by a number of Essendon-listed players including Jay Neagle, David Myers and Jarrod Atkinson could see them come into selection contention ahead of Essendon's clash with Melbourne this week.
