Everything Essendon

Archie Roberts was the star of the week, earning the first 10/10 for the year thanks to his impressive Gather Round performance.

The Essendon Bombers have finally snapped a lengthy losing streak, defeating the Demons convincingly in a Gather Round blowout.

Essendon face Melbourne in the annual gather round showdown, but can the Bombers break an all-time losing streak?

An improved Essendon outfit responded in the respectable loss to the Western Bulldogs, but which players are still falling behind the pack?

Essendon were defeated convincingly in the VFL, but some returning stars and emerging role players impressed to push their case for an AFL return.

Essendon are gearing up for a 17th consecutive loss this weekend as they face the firing Western Bulldogs in an Easter Sunday night doomsday scenario clash.

Essendon improved in their effort and intent in round 3, but there were still far too many passengers out on the field in the disappointing loss to North Melbourne.

Essendon suffered yet another loss to kick off their 2026 campaign, this time it was to North Melbourne, who previously hadn't beaten the Bombers in 10 years.

Club linked young gun Blake Justice will miss the coming matches with an injury setback, while the draft class of 2026 is starting to bear fruits after a long pre-season.

Essendon will be desperate to shake off a shocking start to the 2026 season, and avoid a 0-3 record when they take on North Melbourne in the first Marvel clash of the year.
