Essendon Bombers
Saturday 18th April 2026 11:15 AM

Huge afternoon for the Suns with a few questions being asked in recent weeks. Alarm bells are sounding after back to back losses by multiple goals, although whispers of Christian Petracca returning from a hamstring injury sooner than expected are at least encouraging. The Bombers gave suffering fans something to get excited about at Gather Round with a monster upset over Melbourne. Archie Roberts, Darcy Parish and Zach Merrett had hands all over the footy as the Dons really took control in the final term to heap on the goals. Slow starts from the Suns have cost them in recent weeks, while the Bombers came out firing against Melbourne with intensity around the contest. Their defensive efforts were still questionable at times, but with momentum firmly in favour of the Dons, it’s easy to entertain them with a big line on offer.
