Essendon Bombers News

Michael Willson,Melbourne,Oceania

AFL: Essendon coach Brad Scott speaks to the media after their round 13 loss to the Cats.

The Bombers were brave in the King’s Birthday Eve clash in front of just under 90,000 fans at the MCG – and had ascendancy in several areas – but were ultimately outclassed by arch rival Carlton in a 26-point loss.

“Clearly Carlton deserves its win, but I thought our guys laid the foundation to give ourselves an opportunity, to not necessarily dominate part the game, but we certainly dominated parts without converting on the scoreboard,” Scott said. “But I sit here at roughly the mid-point of the season thinking the foundation of what we’re doing is something to build on.”
