The Bombers' Drought Breaker: A Turning Point in Australian Football? The 12 game losing streak that had become a millstone around Essendon's neck has finally been broken, with the team defeating the GWS Giants.
This major upset win was a sweet victory for the Dons and their fans. Young players such as Zach Merrett, who led the way with 35 disposals and three clearances, caught the eye in Sunday's game.
However, it was the emergence of Dyson Sharp, Jacob Farrow, Sullivan Robey, and Nick Bryan that really stood out. These youngsters are the future of Australian football.
