Tucky pinged for a throw (how the ump saw that in the mass of players is anyone's guess). Point to the Bombers.

Dea's pass out of defence misses the target but Coburg force a stoppage on the wing. Tucky then gives away a free on the wing for kicking in danger. Ends up another point to Essendon.

OOTF to Essendon on the wing. McIntosh bombs it to the 50 where the ball spills to Nahas. He tries the dummie but then is forced to snap it forward. Falls short into Nick Maric's arms and he kicks a goal  .

Verrier then nails a great goal from the boundary  .

Smother on the wing. Arnot pumps it long and Derickx takes a great mark. Fails to make the distance from 30m out with the breeze .

Foley now out of the pack. Nahas marks 35m out. Point.

Free kick 6-1 down. More like 15-1. And pretty sure the 1 was for OOTF. 

[one-eyed]

I think it was Astbury who misjudged the ball on the breeze on the wing. Allows the kick in where Dea is outbodied in the marking contest. Essendon goal.

Coburg get the quick reply. McBean crumbs again and swings around his body for a great goal

Stephenson taps down to Arnot who burst away with pace out the middle where Nahas dives and marks. He passes it off to the Big O who gives it back to Nahas 25m out. Goal

Beaner to good for the burgers 

[one-eyed]

Coburg player Loraine looks to have done his knee. He got a great spoil but did his knee landing.

Essendon run it down for a goal.

Foley out of the middle and Big O now forward marks 20m out. Misses.
