RICHMOND v ESSENDON
Saturday 25 May @ MCG
Dreamtiming at the G used to be a really fun night but one way traffic. Richmond would simply maul the Bombers.
Well that very scenario could well be the case but with the shoe on the other foot.
You cannot possibly think that the Tigers can turn around the horrid stretch they are on. Their scoring has dried up but their injury list has not.
Having to use close to 40 players by Round 10 means you lack consistency of selections, consistency of performance and consistency of criticism. The pile on begins.
While the Bombers were hardly on top of their game against a better North on Sunday, they got the job done. You can't be atop your game every week.
So much so that Zach Merrett only had 21 disposals. They did go to the big forwards with more regularity. Entry was very crisp.
| Match | Richmond | Essendon | Ground |
| Last time they met | 10.10 [70] | 10.11 [71] | MCG |
| Last 10 matches | 9 wins | 1 win | |
| Notes | Dreamtime at the 'G' | ||
| Last year's 1 point win by Essendon was their first since 2014 | |||
Hard not to see a thrashing. If it's a dry night, the Bombers might love to put on 100+ but that is likely unrealistic.
Match Selection: Essendon by 62 points
Suggested Bets: Essendon -60.5 @ $3.50 @ bet365
