Ripping tackle from Stevie Morris on the wing! He's been impressive in his second game of the year.

After the ball was locked in our forward 50, Essendon get a break and register another.

After locking it our F50, we finally nail one.

Great pressure leads to an Essendon turnover, and Moore ends up with the goal!

But the Bombers answer back straight away.

30-76

Essendon are faster, stronger and clean. I would test them after the match.

Moore with our last goal. Lloyd intercept mark and placement kick to Moore.

No C.Ellis or Townsend.

Morris tackle holding the ball, Moore swooped for his 2nd in the quarter.

No C.Ellis or Townsend.

Townsend was an emergency so he'd be over at the 'G as 23rd man in case there's a last-minute injury.

Corey Ellis?
