Re-signed Gold Coast veteran Lachie Weller has celebrated his side’s ability to win ugly and flagged the need for more of the same as the restocked Suns figure out their best mix.
The Suns defied Essendon’s best swings in a nine-point win in Carrara on Saturday to snap a two-game losing streak and improve to 4-2.
The Bombers, who had ended a 17-game losing streak with a win over the impressive Melbourne a week earlier, rallied to build a two-goal lead in the third term and then trailed by one in the final quarter.
