Check out the action from round one at Etihad Stadium in Melbourne.
The Essendon Bombers confirmed their reputation for putting their off-field dramas behind them, as they cruised to a 39-point victory at Etihad Stadium.
With suspended coach James Hird meeting with the Essendon board to determine his immediate future, Hird’s wife Tania amazingly revealed the club were tipped off about the supplements scandal by AFL CEO Andrew Demetriou.
Despite the ongoing saga, the Bombers showed too much class to run away to a deserving 15.9 (99) to 9.6 (60) victory against a Kangaroos side that failed to fire for much of the night.
