07:10
GOAL BOMBERS - Heppell marks 40 metres out and he sucks in a couple of deep breaths and chills out. He sends the kick on its way and it's a wonderful kick!

10:53
SCORE BEHIND - Swans (Gary Rohan)
10:55
BEHIND SWANS - Dempsey fumbles and can't get the ball out of defence. Rohan steals it and snaps, but he sneaks it in for a behind.
12:00
SUBSTITUTION SWANS - A famous name at Essendon in Lloyd has come on for the Swans as their substitution in place of Membrey.
13:00
BEHIND BOMBERS - Sydney rush through another behind with the Bombers really pushing for a result here.
13:50
Dempsey pushes into the 50 and takes a flying shot at goal, but he kicks it out of bounds on the full. He has made a few mistakes tonight.
15:30
Sydney are beginning to work the clock and are finding the passes with ease.
16:00
Essendon need to find three unanswered goals to take home the pot of gold being the four premiership points.
18:20
Zaharakis tries to work it with the outside of his boot from 50 metres out, but Richards is there to mark it in the goal square.
20:00
Just the one goal in this quarter and that was scored by Essendon. It's hard to see them come back from here.
21:32
Bombers Interchange - Mark Baguley off due to the blood rule.
21:55
GOAL SWANS - Goodes is held in the marking contest and he makes sure the umpire sees it. From the free kick he slots it through from 20 metres out. That's officially game over.
24:05
BEHIND SWANS - Tippett claims the mark but it isn't paid. He recovers to tap it onto Parker who slams his kick into the post.
24:06
SCORE BEHIND - Swans (Luke Parker)

BEHIND SWANS - Goodes looks to ice the cake for the Swans. His kick bounces towards goals but bounces away from the target and it's only a minor score.
25:16
SCORE BEHIND - Swans (Adam Goodes)
27:20

FULL TIME - The final siren sounds with Sydney putting in a solid shift tonight. Essendon kept coming at them but in the end the Swans were too good, winning by 22 points.
