FULL TIME
Daw runs to 15m but misses, and Essendon head down the other end and Daniher goals. It sums up North's second half, but they've won by 14 points against a spirited Dons outfit that had trailed by as many as 52 points.
North remain unbeaten, but it's the Dons who arguably deserve greater plaudits.
I'm heading to the rooms, thanks for joining us this afternoon.
Q4 24' Ess 54 NM 73
North have slowed right down, but the margin remains 19 points after Zach Merrett misses.
1:30 to go.
Q4 19' Ess 52 NM 73
Zaharakis finds Redman who marks 30m out, but he misses. What might have been?
Q4 18' Ess 51 NM 73
And another! Langford again, sinking one from 45m on the boundary. Surely not?
Q4 17' Ess 45 NM 73
Finally Langford snaps the first goal of the quarter! Seven minutes to go.

Polkinghorne sprays a set shot, before Crowley does the same.
Still without a goal in the final term, despite 11 minutes being played. North look to have weathered the storm though.
Good news, with Wood now up and walking.
Pretty ho-hum start to this final term.
Meanwhile, the Hawks have taken the lead against Freo.
3/4 TIME
ESSENDON 5.5.35

Harvey misses a set shot after the siren, a fitting end to a much better quarter from the Dons. Darcy Parish was brilliant during that stanza.

Fantasia kicks a beauty! The Dons are up and about.
Q3 28' ESS 29 NM 69
Gibson turns it over, and Redman gives it to Daniher, who goals.
Q3 25' ESS 23 NM 69
A bit more for Dons fans to cheer about, as Cooney runs in and goals.
Q3 22' ESS 17 NM 69
Roos Nahas, Cunnington and Waite all miss shots, but the good news is that Wood is alert and talking to North medicos.

Q3 18' ESS 17 NM 66
Wood had taken the mark, so Waite takes the set shot, and goals.
It's taken a fair whole but Wood has eventually been put on the stretcher and being driven off.
Mason Wood is in a bad place, lying face down after a marking contest inside 50. He's set to be carted off.
Q3 9' Ess 17 NM 60
Nice transition play by the Dons, as McDonald-Tipungwuti, finds Kyle Langford, who in turn kicks it to the run of Mason Redman. The youngster runs in and goals.
