Never before in Australian sport has a club’s story been told so comprehensively or so openly. Screening from October 19 on Fox Footy and Kayo over a four-week period, The Bombers: Stories of a Great Club is an eight-part documentary series that was commissioned for the Bombers' 150-year celebrations in 2022. Production for the landmark series began in late 2019, with the broad-ranging tale completed despite the challenges of COVID-19 restrictions. The Bombers appeals to all sports fans, peeling back the triumphs and turbulent times, successes and failures, defining moments and disasters that beset even the greatest of clubs. More than 90 players, coaches, officials, supporters and icons from Essendon and rival clubs have been interviewed for this series, giving their answers without fear or favour.
