BOMBERS TO BURY BAD MEMORIES
Saturday, May 4th will go down as one of the blackest days of Essendon’s 2002 season. It was the last time the Bombers played Fremantle – a 27-point loss was the bad news and it only got worse with both James Hird and Matthew Lloyd suffering long-term injuries. From that point on the season became one of simply living from week to week – eking out victories while waiting to get the best Essendon side back on the park.
