In a strange twist, Essendon might lose despite their third win of the AFL season. Adidas Nmd R1 Primeknit .The Bombers are in danger of surrendering the No.1 draft pick following their 24-point triumph over Carlton on Saturday afternoon at the MCG.The 15.13 (103) to 10.19 (79) victory will haul the depleted Bombers off the bottom of the ladder, if Brisbane or Fremantle suffer heavy losses on Sunday against St Kilda and the Western Bulldogs respectively, in their final-round clashes.Essendon would surely prefer the collective confidence from their performance going into the off-season, rather than the top draft choice after such a compromised year, in which they have missed 12 of their senior players through bans over the clubs supplements saga.The Bombers must have salivated at the glimpse into the future with several outstanding efforts - such as Joe Daniher booting five goals, second-year forward Kyle Langford bagging three and Anthony McDonald-Tipungwuti chiming in with four during the second-half domination.Carltons counterparts proved mostly ineffective, with only Matthew Kreuzers marking strength posing problems up forward, while other tall targets Levi Casbout and Liam Jones were beaten comprehensively.A burst of goals from Matthew Wright, Sam Docherty and Dennis Armfield early in the final quarter was the only Blues challenge to pull back within 26 points, but a hurried snapshot for a goal from Bomber ruckman Shaun McKernan stopped the run and restored control.After an even opening quarter, Essendon were poised to take charge when Daniher led a goal blitz that established a 32-point buffer midway through the second term.Just when the contest seemed to be slipping out of reach, the Blues hit back with goals from Wright, Kreuzer and Sam Kerridge before Daniher booted his third goal for the second quarter to give the Bombers a 19-point halftime lead.A six goals-to-one third quarter from Essendon sealed the deal by the three-quarter-time break. Buy Adidas Nmd r1 Online .

LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. -- The play J.P. Macura made with 1.7 seconds left wont show up in any boxscore, and certainly wont appear in any highlight video.But it helped No. 11 Xavier escape and remain unbeaten.Edmond Sumners free throw with 0.3 seconds left in overtime gave the Musketeers an 83-82 win over Missouri in the opening round of the Tire Pros Invitational on Thursday. He was fouled after Xavier inbounded near midcourt, after a heady timeout that Macura called to give his team a chance to set something up at the end.He understands time and score and puts himself in positions to make hustle plays and plays that determine the outcome of a game, Xavier coach Chris Mack said. It doesnt surprise me that he had presence of mind to call timeout that quickly.Sumner was fouled by Missouris Terrence Phillips as both went for the ball along the sideline on the deciding play. He missed the first one short, then rattled in the second for the win.I decided to call timeout because I didnt want us to just fire up a halfcourt shot, Macura said. I thought wed have better chances of making a shot if we got a timeout.He was right, and the Musketeers -- who won a tournament at the Disney complex last year -- are now in the semifinals of this event. Sumner and Macura each scored 19 points for Xavier, which got 13 apiece from Trevon Bluiett and Sean OMara.Frankie Hughes scored 24 points for Missouri (1-1), and Kevin Puryear finished with 22 points and 10 rebounds. Phillips scored seven of his 21 points in overtime for Missouri, which never got off a desperation shot after Sumners deciding free throw.I think he was just being aggressive, Missouri coach Kim Anderson said. Im sure hed love to take it back, but you know what? He made a lot of great plays to get us to where wwe were, so if it wasnt for that it wouldnt come down to that play. Adidas Nmd r1 Primeknit Australia. issouri led by 10 in the first half and held the lead most of the second half, but needed to scramble both late in regulation and then from an early five-point deficit in overtime.
