BOMBERS BRUSH ASIDE BLUES
Essendon has tuned up for the finals series by hammering Carlton at the MCG by 55 points. At half-time the lead was 47 points, and Matthew Lloyd had five goals on the board. In the second half the Bombers eased off, no doubt thinking of next week’s first final against West Coast. Essendon will play West Coast in the first Elimination Final at Colonial Stadium next Saturday afternoon at 2.30pm.

The Champions of Essendon print is a must have piece of memorabilia for all Essendon supporters. The print depicts the 25 Champions of Essendon in the locker room at Windy Hill. A fine art production produced by Jamie Cooper who has painted similar works for AFL club’s Team of the Century. The print is limited to 200 pieces and comes framed and personally signed by the 25 Champions (facsimile signatures of those that are deceased).
