YOUNG BOMBERS ON THEIR LAST CHANCE
Essendon travels to Albury today in search of its first victory of the 2002 pre-season. The Bombers didn't win a match in the Wizard Cup competition and last weekend went down to the West Coast Eagles by six goals. And this weekend they take on the Western Bulldogs - the side that soundly beat Essendon in round two of the Wizard Cup at Colonial Stadium. A win isn't critical but Essendon coach Kevin Sheedy will want to see some positive signs with the real stuff just over two weeks away. He has persisted with the young players and it is time for them to return the favour.
