They ended up winning by 10 points, and have now won their last seven games in Darwin.

    Young backman Zach Reid is quickly becoming a fan favourite amongst the Essendon faithful this year. Photo: AFL MEDIACould it be? Has Essendon finally done it? After multiple drafts in which they have failed to unequivocally nail their first-round picks, it appears the Bombers might have belatedly unearthed a gem in key defender Zach Reid. To say it’s been a long, arduous road for the 23-year-old would be an understatement.

    Collingwood players are stunned after Lachie Sullivan (not pictured) was controversially penalised during the Magpies’ draw with Fremantle last year.

    It doesn’t appear as though Fremantle coach Justin Longmuir’s message is getting through to his players. Photo: GETTY IMAGESIt took Fremantle precisely 13 days to revert to its pathetic, uncompetitive self on the weekend. But as soft and lame as the Dockers were against Melbourne in Round 6, even their harshest critics could not have foreseen what they were going to serve up on Friday night against St Kilda at Marvel Stadium.

    Essendon’s Archie Perkins is tackled by North Melbourne’s Luke Davies-Uniacke in Round 10 last year. Photo: GETTY IMAGESESSENDON v NORTH MELBOURNE (Marvel Stadium, Thursday 7:30pm)This reeks of a huge danger game for the Bombers. While Essendon won three in a row before being taken back to school by Collingwood last week, their form was scratchy to say the least in two of those victories against Port Adelaide and West Coast. Now, of course, the Kangaroos are hardly world beaters.

Brisbane and North remain the only two clubs to maintain a 100% strike rate after nine rounds on the jumper ladder. Was refreshing to see GWS finally wear their primary jumper on the weekend! https://t.co/ZCp24ZKuZu

What a shellacking. Can Cleveland survive this from a series perspective? Gonna take one hell of an effort to advance to the conference finals from here! #NBAPlayoffs
