GWS 5.9.39
Essendon 8.9.57
GOAL ESSENDON
And Essendon with the quick reply, thanks to Zaharakis. He kicks a ripper that somehow managed to bounce past three players in the goal square.

BEHIND GWS
Patton goes long to Lamb in a one-on-one against Goddard in the forward line. They’re all alone and Lamb gets a metre on him. Goddard keeps him in check with a little jumper tug. Lamb goes off the ground but it just scrapes the post. That goal would have really lifted the Giants.

HALF-TIME
GWS 4.4.28
Essendon 5.8.38
Both teams putting up a solid contest here. Doesn’t look like either team will manage to kick a lot of goals in the second half. Heppell and Shiel have both led their teams in the middle. Smith looks dangerous up forward and Shaw is using his experience down back to lead the defence. For the Bombers, Daniher could be the deciding factor in the forward line. Goddard has shown his class a couple of times today with excellent kicking in a game lacking skill.
