  • Stringer with another centre clearance, and it drops to Matt Guelfi who snaps accurately.

    A bizarrely open game this.

    Q1 NM 13 ESS 12

    First inside 50, first goal. Wright is collected illegally by Robbie Tarrant and he converts the set shot. Not much defending in this game at the moment.

    Q1 NM 12 ESS 6

    Their midfield is on top, and that ends with a long kick to the top of the square. Nick Larkey wins a free for high contact and he converts. Continues his good form from last week.

    Q1 NM 13 ESS 0

    Essendon turn it over coming out of defence and it ends up with a set shot to Bailey Scott, who converts.

    Q1 NM 7 ESS 0

    Essendon and North Melbourne at Metricon Stadium has begun.

    Bombers could be briefly in the top 8 if they win, and potentially to end the round if other results go their way.

    Thought it was worthwhile checking out how last night ended, a draw between Melbourne and Hawthorn. A real thriller:

    Today’s player to watch, as posted previously in this blog, is a late out. Essendon’s Harrison Jones has a foot injury and he has been replaced by Brayden Ham.

    Medical subs today are Atu Bosenavulagi for North, and Marty Gleeson for the Bombers.

    Here’s how our reporter on that day in 2004 saw a classic Collingwood v Carlton clash:

    The consolation prize, after a wrestle worthy of a far more meaningful encounter, went to Carlton by a point.

    The Blues, inspired by resurgent captain Anthony Koutoufides and engineered by the ever classy Matthew Lappin, will embark on the post-season wake with more to celebrate than traditional foe Collingwood, whose season was buried in front of 60,898 fervent supporters at the MCG.

    The Kangaroos conceded just 60 points in last rounds win over the Eagles â€" the fewest points they have conceded in any game this season. The Bombers kept the Crows to their lowest ever score on record â€" conceding just 21 points.
