SANDRINGHAM reaffirmed it is on track to win a record fourth straight VFL/VFA premiership with a barnstorming finish to defeat the Bendigo Bombers at Trevor Barker Oval yesterday.
An upset was in the making when Bendigo held a 16-point lead at three-quarter time on the back of a seven-goal third quarter sparked by Essendon's 2006 third-round draft choice, Kyle Reimers, who booted three goals in three minutes.
But the Zebras answered the challenge in a power-packed final quarter, booting 11 goals to win by 31 points.
They remain clear leaders of the competition with 48 points after their 20.14 (134) to 14.17 (101) victory.
Zebras midfielder Peter Summers praised the Bendigo Bombers, saying they had played with a lot of commitment and intensity.
"We knew at three-quarter time that our intensity was pretty good and we came out with a win," Summers said.
Melbourne ruckman Mark Jamar and Paul Johnson dominated the hitouts.
