Bombers survive Saints scare after gripping contest
ESSENDON has outlasted a brave St Kilda to record a thrilling two-point win at Etihad Stadium on Sunday afternoon.
In one of the most entertaining encounters of the season in which the lead changed 11 times, the Saints were in front until the 19-minute minute mark of the final quarter.
But a running goal to Travis Colyer as the term neared red time put the Bombers one point up and they weren't headed, with Adam Schneider missing a second opportunity to nail a six-pointer with just over three minutes left.
The Bombers won 11.16 (82) to 11.14 (80), with Jobe Watson leading from the front with 30 disposals and Brendon Goddard ignoring jeers from Saints fans to collect 28.
It was a frenetic game played at breakneck pace, and nearly every player on the field was visibly exhausted as the final minutes ticked down.
