Essendon has lived up to its ‘comeback’ moniker, but an impressive fighting win over Hawthorn was just one part of a night that was all about comebacks.
Welcoming back a number of players who were suspended for a year after the ridiculously drawn-out supplements saga, the team has been all about its fight back from the depths.
Indeed, returning skipper Dyson Heppell and former captain Jobe Watson were influential in the 17.14 (116) to 12.19 (91) win that saw the Bombers kick 10 of the last 13 goals in the game.
Heppell ultimately finished with an outlandishly good stat line of three goals, 34 disposals and seven tackles, with Watson adding 27 disposals and eight tackles.
But the biggest ‘comeback’ moment of the night probably belonged to someone else — Jarryd Roughead.
