Breaking the Drought

I've said very little about the AFL this year. It's quite obvious that the Bombers aren't having a great year, in fact it's probably one of the leanest years for a while.

However, I'm content in writing this year and possibly next year off as rebuilding - with Hird and Sheeds moving on and the new coach Knights bringing in so many young fellas it's legitimate to see a time of poorer play as the new team gels together, and get those all important game experiences under their belts.

But it is hard to sit through 8 straight losses, so for the Dons to get up against the West Coast Eagles last night was awesome.

Honestly there wasn't much 'great' footy going on and it was two teams scrapping it out, but I do think the Bombers played much better than the Wee-girls...

Matty Lloyd had a great game, only one goal, but his presence was felt and he lifted his team to play their best. His mark in the four quarter was just special! Have a look at those photos! What a grab!

Am flying down to Melbourne in July to watch Essendon play Brisbane, here's hoping we'll see another victory!
