Four goals from out-of-favour utility James Stewart helped get the Bombers over the line for a two-point win against a fast-finishing Southport on Sunday.

Stewart hasn’t taken to an AFL field since round three, but his strong performance up forward, punctuated by 11 marks, will help the 28-year-old as he searches for a contract extension.

Injury-ravaged veteran Dan Hannebery made it through another game on his comeback trail and found plenty of the ball along the way, finishing with 26 disposals and an equal game-high eight clearances.
