Essendon Highlights - Rd 16 2022 v Sydney

Ess 15.5.95 def Syd 12.14.86 Coming off yet another disappointing loss, nobody gave Essendon much of a chance against top-eight side Sydney, who had smashed the Bombers in their earlier encounter. And when Essendon fell 26 points behind in the second term, the result looked a foregone conclusion. But a stunning fightback resulted in a stirring 9-point victory, with late goals to Redman, Langford and Hind sealing a memorable result for the Bombers faithful. Zach Merrett was the unlikely goal kicker with three, while Jake Stringer’s two spectacular snags in the last quarter helped turn the tide.
