An intriguing game in which goals were kicked in bursts at both ends. Collingwood kicked 5 in the 1st and 8 in the last quarters while Essendon kicked 7 in the 2nd term and 10 in the 3rd quarter. Ultimately Essendon ran out winners by 33 points - 20.21.141 to 17.15.117.
Essendon 20.21 (141) (Goals: Hawker 5, Fowler 3, Beddison 3, Terry Daniher 2, Buhagiar 2, Watson, Weston, Foulds, Thomson, Clarke) defeated Collingwood 17.15 (117) (Goals: Hannebery 4, Gary Shaw 3, Williams 3, Kink 2, Cloke 2, Banks, Barham, Walsh).
This was the first of four successive 20-goal scores by the Bombers, the most in succession since 1934 when South Melbourne kicked five in a row from Rounds 11 to 15.
