Watch the Collingwood Magpies vs. Essendon Bombers match from Friday, July 3rd 2020, 7:50:00 pm held at Melbourne Cricket Ground. That forced the vulnerable Pies into safe mode, with most of their forward forays coming via slow plays.“This is when Collingwood plays at its worst,” Collingwood great Tony Shaw told 3AW Football.For Essendon, Anthony McDonald-Tipungwuti (2.1 from 18 disposals and four score assists) was electric. As could the Pies.In a highly entertaining yet sometimes bizarre clash in front of 85,405 fans at the MCG to kick off the final round of the home and away season, the Bombers produced glimpses of their stunning best to suggest they’re every chance of winning their first final since 2004.Ultimately, the extra grade of class across the Magpies’ line-up — and the chasm of experience at the Bombers — was enough to earn Nathan Buckley’s men a hard-fought 11-point victory, 10.16 (76) to Essendon 10.5 (65).Captain Scott Pendlebury (33 disposals) and likely All-Australian ruckman Brodie Grundy (33 disposals) took control of the game in the second half, while Jamie Elliott (3.4 from 18 disposals and nine marks) produced an impressive game for the second consecutive week to inspire their side to victory.Yet when Essendon fans walked out of the MCG on Friday night, they could argue there’s just as much upside to their team.Without David Zaharakis, Dyson Heppell, Orazio Fantasia, Jake Stringer and, at the last minute, Cale Hooker, the Bombers produced one of their gutsiest performances in a couple of months to push the Pies — who could be in the top four by round’s end, depending on Sunday’s Richmond-Brisbane clash — right to the final siren.But ultimately, as entertaining as Friday night’s game was, at times it did turn into a game of survival as the casualties banked up throughout the night.The biggest concern was clearly star Essendon defender Michael Hurley, whose night was over just before half-time after injuring his shoulder in a marking contest. His speed, both with and without ball in hand, was game-breaking, his defensive pressure was elite and his ball use first-class.“Gee he’s dominating tonight,” Shaw said of the out-of-contract McDonald-Tipungwuti.McDonald-Tipungwuti had great support from Conor McKenna, who had a career-high 35 disposals rebounding from half-back, while Andrew McGrath, Zach Merrett and Darcy Parish all finished with 26 disposals.

He finished the game on the bench in a tracksuit top with his right shoulder in a sling.The only positive to take from the incident was this was Hurley’s ‘good’ shoulder, as he had surgery on his other shoulder last month.
