YOU would like to know how often over the years a Daniher has a produced a moment of inspiration to spark Essendon into action.
Or a Watson has kicked the matchwinning goal. Or a Fletcher has held the team together with his composure in the back half.
This eight-point win was another to add to the ledger. Unlike most, though, it was not one punctuated by free-flowing moments of brilliance.
Daniher's moment was not a towering mark or a booming goal. Rather, with the Dons desperately needing to find some momentum early in the third quarter, after a flat and listless opening half, it was the young full-forward who lit the fuse.

The remarkable part is that 11 minutes into the match Essendon had three unanswered goals on the scoreboard. It was dominating the contested ball and slicing open the game with quick play-on disposal through the centre corridor.
But, damningly, for the remainder of the opening half the Bombers managed just four behinds.
The Bulldogs tightened up, cut out Essendon's overlap running and clawed their way back into the contest by forcing the Bombers to cough up the ball.

The Bombers had players down on form everywhere in the opening half. In a rare off day, Watson was struggling to have an impact, Goddard looked rusty, while Winderlich and Brent Stanton could not shake the attention of Easton Wood and Liam Picken respectively.
Jake Carlisle, who opened the match at centre-half-forward on unexpected opponent in Jake Stringer, was working hard enough but still looked down on confidence.

The Bulldogs' grunt credentials have never been in question, but it was the silky play of their pups that helped them look at times capable of running away with this match. Unfortunately two perennial problems, a lack of class in the key posts and a costly lapse — where they conceded six of the eight goals in the third quarter — again cost them victory.
