LIVE NOW- Essendon and Richmond take to the field in Wangaratta as we continue a huge day of NAB Cup action. Follow it here!
6.38pm AEDT - Bombers 45, Tigers 43
Essendon finally nailed the first goal of the third quarter after eight wasteful minutes.
Alwyn Davey missed a shot on goal and Michael Hurley put a set shot out on the full before a clean run down the field landed the pill in Paddy Ryder's hands, and he finished it off to extend Essendon's lead to eight points.
6.12pm AEDT - HALF TIME - Bombers 43, Tigers 42
A rocking finish to the second quarter has handed Essendon a one-point half-time lead over Richmond.
The Tigers held sway - and their slender quarter-time advantage - for most of the second term, but two Bomber goals and a super goal in less than three minutes turned the tide.
Michael Hurley nailed his first to close the gap to 14 points.
Then Brent Stanton ignored better options but was rewarded when he slotted one from 40m out, and the Bombers rocketed into the lead for the first time when Leroy Jetta streaked through the middle and bombed a super goal.

5.58pm AEDT - Bombers 21, Tigers 35
The Tigers are sticking fat and holding onto their first-quarter advantage against the Bombers.
Bombers forward Stewart Crameri opened the scoring in the second quarter when he roved his own ball and snapped truly from the right forward pocket.
But Richmond replied with a goal to Shane Tuck at the nine-minute mark to reestablish their lead.
5.38pm AEDT
Bombers 14, Richmond 25
Kangaroos 73, Suns 34
There's the quarter-time siren in Wangaratta and the traffic mostly went Richmond's way in the opening term.
The two teams traded goals but it was an early Matt White super goal and a flurry of late behinds that gave the Tigers the edge.
One of those misses cam from the boot of Orren Stephenson, who is a surprise possession leader for the yellow and black, with seven, while Brendon has been the Bombers' best, setting up a goal for Nick Kommer while racking up 10 touches.
In the other match currently under way, North Melbourne lead Gold Coast by 39 points at half-time, with Aaron Black, Daniel Currie and Lindsay Thomas all snaring two goals in the first half.
5.20pm AEDT - Bombers 12, Tigers 15
Richmond bounded out of the blocks with a super goal to Matt White and a curling banana kick from the boundary from Robin Nahas, but the Bombers have answered with goals of their own each time.
The match review panel might have a look at the incident that led to Essendon's first goal.
Ricky Pettard got a little testy in an exchange with Nick Kommer, taking a swing and catching the mature-aged Bombers recruit somewhere between his shoulder and chin.
Kommer accepted the freekick and duly slotted the goal, and Paddy Ryder nailed the Bombers' second after about 10 minutes, running into an open goal after Brendon Goddard brought the ball to ground.
5.10pm AEDT
Now we turn our attention to Wangaratta, where the Bombers will take on a slightly undermanned Tigers outfit.
5.05pm AEDT
FULL TIME
Geelong 2.16.12 (126)
Adelaide 1.8.6 (63)
And so ends an impressive outing for Geelong and an equally worrying display from Adelaide just a couple of weeks out from the season proper.
The Crows were woeful going forward in the absence of Kurt Tippett, and there's already been plenty of talk around the traps this afternoon that they'll be the big sliders of the 2013 season.
Geelong were far too good from the outset, kicking seven goals in the first quarter (including two super goals), but the best part may have been their continued ability to unearth and develop young players, despite having an elite list for the best part of a decade.
Jordan Murdoch was solid, Shane Kersten bagged three goals and most of the youngsters who took the field got their hands on the ball nearly 10 times to put themselves forward as Round 1 smokeys.
4.55pm AEDT
Geelong 119, Adelaide 57
North Melbourne 47, Gold Coast 8
Embarrassing stuff in this final term from the Crows.
An attempt to rebound from their defensive 50 ends in Shane Kersten smothering the ball, gathering it and running into an open goal to boot his third.
That followed two consecutive Taylor Walker shots that hit the post at the other end.
4.40pm AEDT - Geelong 113, Adelaide 46
Both sides snag an early one in the final quarter, with Shane Kersten the beneficiary of some Jimmy Bartel magic and Patrick Dangerfield bagging his third for the Crows a short time later.
Bartel dragged in a huge pack mark among about eight players just outside 50 and dished off a quick handball, with the resultant kick finding Kersten all alone and running into goal.
Meanwhile, it's all North Melbourne up in Townsville. They lead 26-6 against Gold Coast off the back of two first-quarter goals to Aaron Black.

THREE-QUARTER TIME
Geelong 2.13.11 (107)
Adelaide 0.6.4 (40)
IT'S been a dirty, dirty day for Adelaide, who have enough of their stars in the side to suggest they should be doing a lot better than this.
Patrick Dangerfield has played virtually a lone hand with his 25 disposals and two goals, while Jimmy Bartel (22 disposals, two goals) and Harry Taylor have been exemplary for the home side.
Crows coach Brenton Sanderson probably said it best during an interview at three-quarter time: "We've really chopped it up going forward".
4.27pm AEDT - Geelong 107, Adelaide 40
GRAHAM Johncock finally got one back for the Crows after almost 15 minutes of play in the third term, when Taylor Walker found space over the back of Geelong's zone and spotted Johncock further downfield.
The veteran ran into an open goal, but that moment of respite was short-lived as the Crows answered with goals to Mark Blicavs, Jordan Murdoch and Jimmy Bartel.
Nine disposals for the quarter now for Bartel to go with his two goals.
4.05pm AEDT - Geelong 86, Adelaide 34
GEELONG have picked up in the third quarter where they left off at half-time.
Jimmy Bartel keeps the rout rolling with his first major of the match and the Cats' lead is pushed beyond 50 points.
3:30pm AEDT- Geelong 74 leading Adelaide 12
THE Cats have gone on with it in the second term.
James Kelly, Mitch Duncan and Shane Kersten have all added goals in the second term, while the Crows have added two through Patrick Dangerfield and Nathan Van Berlo.

3:10pm AEDT - Geelong 54 leading Adelaide 12 at QUARTER-TIME
THAT's quarter-time at Simonds Stadium - and what a term it has been for the Cats.
Geelong are treating this seriously and it shows.
They lead by 42 points at the first change.
This could be a long day for the Crows if Geelong keep up this intensity.

3pm AEDT- Geelong 41 lead Adelaide 6
IT seems someone has forgot to tell Geelong it is the NAB Cup, because they are up and about.
They have come out blazing and have opened up a big lead over the Crows.
Paul Chapman, Jordan Murdoch and Andrew Mackie all with goals since the last update.
Patrick Dangerfield has kicked Adelaide's sole major.
2:47pm AEDT - Geelong 16 leads Adelaide 0
WELCOME back to football, Travis Varcoe.
The forward proved his injury issues are behind him with a supergoal from outside 50.
It was followed up by Mitch Duncan, who kicked truly from a set shot.
Great start by the Cats.
