Star forward Kyle Langford of Essendon has defended the “Essendon edge,” citing the bravery of a teammate that personified the derided catchphrase.
At Marvel Stadium on Saturday, Langford’s Bombers defeated a resolute St Kilda team by a slim margin of four points, improving to 2-1 in 2024.
Pundits have been scolding Essendon all week after a fierce Round 2 match that resulted in forward Peter Wright’s four-game suspension and a number of other spotfires that were seen with disapproval.
