Draftee Kobe Mutch shook off a first-quarter injury scare to be named the Bombers' best in their 16-point loss in windy conditions.
The 19-year-old appeared to be sore in the opening term and was attended to by a trainer, but the midfielder stood up and got through the game.
Forward Jackson Merrett kicked the Bombers' first goal of the match and could have had his second major soon after, but he missed a snap at goal.
Key position player Aaron Francis presented well and finished with a goal.
The 19-year-old, who has played two games at the top level this season, received treatment in the third quarter around his hip/stomach area but he returned.
