Bombers prove a point
<P class=MsoNormal style=""MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt"">If last week’s performance was touted as one of Essendon’s most thrilling victories then this match should certainly come close. After what appeared to be a cakewalk for the Eagles early on, the Bombers pulled together to produce a stellar second half of football and defeat a fiercely competitive West Coast unit by one point. After allowing the Eagles to get off to a 29-point lead in the first quarter, the Bombers soon found themselves battling tirelessly to atone and to try to fault West Coast’s seemingly flawless gameplan. Somehow Essendon’s coaching mastermind, Kevin Sheedy, was able to pull out the right tricks at the right time and found a successful means of denting the Eagles armour, allowing the Bombers to walk away victorious in a thriller.
