Essendon has suffered a narrow loss to Port Adelaide at Football Park. Port played a fast and committed brand of football and deserved to win. However Essendon fans will wonder how much was taken out of the team by the round 16 comeback over the Roos, and Kevin Sheedy did indulge in some experimentation during this match. Sean Wellman was great all day, including a stint at full-forward. Matty Lloyd kicked four goals.
A magnificent piece of memorabilia to commemorate the Bombers' history-making win over the Kangaroos is now available from the Bomber Shop. 'The Comeback' includes four beautifully framed photos and a plaque on which the match details are inscribed. Every piece has been individually signed by every Essendon player who took part in the match. This is a limited edition of 500 and the cost is $499. This is an excellent way to commemorate the greatest comeback the game has ever seen. You can phone the Bomber Shop now on 92300315 to secure your piece of history or purchase from our on-line shop from next Monday.
