Giants win thriller against Bombers, but key forward could face MRO scrutiny By 2021-05-08T17:32+10:00 Who would’ve predicted 11th v 15th on the ladder would have been a better game than the Grand Final rematch? GWS and Essendon have played out one of the contests of the season at GIANTS Stadium, the home team eventually holding on to prevail by just two points. They were two teams not known for their consistency in season 2021, yet the see-sawing affair was more volatile and desperate than anyone could have tipped. The Bombers were down by five goals at the 30-minute mark of the first...

Carlton outlast historical rival Essendon in old-fashioned shootout By 2021-05-02T18:25+10:00 Footy fans were treated to an old-fashioned shootout as Carlton bested Essendon 123-107 in a high-scoring affair on Sunday at the MCG. The historical rivals traded blows all afternoon with the ball moving freely from end to end throughout. Essendon started the game well before Carlton brought them back at half-time with the margin remaining tight until the Blues began to pull away late. Ultimately, Carlton had a little too much class for the Bombers with Sam Walsh continuing his remarkable season th...

The club tipped to "morph into a clone of Richmond" By 2021-04-29T14:35+10:00 Former AFL recruiter Matt Rendell is extremely impressed with Essendon’s system and the improvement of certain players.

Injuries forced coach Ben Rutten to shuffle his pack with Jayden Leverde moved into defence, Parish into an inside midfield role and Cale Hooker deployed as a permanent forward. All three moves have paid off and Rendell sees glimp...

SEN’s Rolling All-Australian team returns for 2021! This team will attempt to reward season-long performance, rather than jumping week to week based on standout individual efforts. The team is based on who has stood out early in the season. Expect the squad of 22 to be in flux until players separate themselves from the pack. The team will slowly take shape across the season, culminating in a final and settled All-Australian team after Round 23. We have made five changes to the team this week, with veteran midfielders David Mundy and Travis Boak headlining the changes. They replace the injur...

Ben Rutten's five coaching and selection moves which have rejuvenated Essendon in 2021 By 2021-04-27T15:10+10:00 Essendon began this season in a state of transition, with new coach Ben Rutten taking the reins for the first time without John Worsfold alongside him. How would the youthful Bombers go? It was a genuine mystery, despite some early season promise in an AAMI Community Series game against Geelong, which they didn’t end up winning but their new blueprint was there for all to see. After six rounds, Essendon has been more than competitive in four matches and have only been smashed by...
