VFL R22 1981 - Essendon v Geelong

There was little separating the top 4 teams - Collingwood, Carlton, Essendon and Geelong going into R22 and therefore a win or loss in this match at VFL Park was vital to either side. Essendon had won 15 games in a row and moved from 10th after R6 to 3rd, equal with Carlton and a game ahead of Geelong when they crushed South Melbourne by 111 points the previous week. The winner of the game would secure the double chance via the Qualifying Final. Essendon had been down early but were leading in the last quarter before 2 late goals from the Cats ended the Dons' winning streak and earned Geelong 3rd spot. Geelong 7.13.55 d Essendon 6.11.47
