Hold the ball: Great game
Scott Pendlebury gets caught in the Essendon defence. Free kick for the Firemen.
There are about 4 minutes left in the game.
5:14 left on the clock
Mason Cox takes a fantastic mark in defence.
Collinwood by one point.

For Scott Spitz
Game time is fast approaching and this game could break down early.
The last 2-3 minutes have been on point as both teams look to capitalize on an opportunity. First Essendon and then Collingwood go out in the last term.
Now there is a sense of uncertainty.
Don't rule out a team winning by 2-3 goals from this point.
Collingwood again… they put the lead away!
A truly supercomposite Beau McCreery boot in space.
Collingwood have a one point lead after 13 minutes.
There's a lot left in this matchup.
Collingwood 12.13 (85) leads Essendon 12.12 (84)
GOAL – Collingwood
A super important response from the Magpies….
Harvey Harrison makes one. What a moment for the young man.
11 minutes less in the last quarter.
Rising Bombers
Essendon grabbed three goals in four minutes (including two to Langford) to jump clear in space. Will it be a game breaking phase? Let me see.

Jones' bloody nose
Harry Jones leaves the field after a clash of heads with Darcy Cameron.
He finished second with blood spurting from his nose after a collision with the back of Cameron's head.
Both parties have not yet activated their subordinate.
Daicos magic
Josh Daicos produces a stunning finish to extend the Pies' lead to seven points.
The eldest son of a gun, Daicos was handed the handball by Bobby Hill and instead of squaring the ball, as 99 per cent of players would, he went for it.
3QT statistics
Three quarters of time
Harry Jones had a chance to put the Bombers in front on the three-quarter siren, but his shot from 30 yards into the pocket went wide to the left. It's a point advantage for the Pies. A thriller is coming.
Can the Pies, kings of excitement under Craig McRae, pull off another narrow win, or will the Dons find that little bit more and rise to claim their first Anzac Day win under Brad Scott?
