Today’s match between Essendon and Melbourne definitely won’t go down in the history books as an epic encounter. After a six goal opening term to Essendon it soon became a scrappy affair between the two teams. The main thing to come out of the match was the Bombers came away with the four points and kept its season alive. However, midway through the final term, Essendon looked in doubt of securing the win, but two goals in as many minutes set up the 17-point win.
