Essendon Bombers vs Gold Coast Suns Preview

There have been positives signs for both Essendon and Gold Coast in recent weeks but the reality is that both sides will miss finals in season 2022.

Essendon have won three of their last four including an impressive and rare win against the Lions at the Gabba on Sunday.

It’s easy to use excuses for the Lions with their outs and discredit the Bombers but the truth is that Essendon showed plenty of toughness to secure the four points at a place where the Lions have been difficult to beat.

The Suns too were very brave and tough when they fought back from 40 points down against Richmond to win with a kick after the siren.

A slither of hope remains to progress their season past August for the first time in their history and that may be enough to secure a win against an inconsistent Essendon.
