One of the top crowds for the year I would say.
Bombers in crisis and Tigers having literally nothing to play for.

Two factors at play. We saw against the Hawks and now in this game that the Richmond supporter base having been indifferent and not that bothered, have lit up as the finals approach and have really started to turn up. The other factor is that of all Victorian teams Essendon arguably and in my opinion definitely have the most resilient core base. Put the two together and you get 60K at a nothing game.
Sooner or later the Dons will beat us but 13 in a row now over 8 seasons for the Big 4 kings and it just underlines the recent awfulness for Essendon. May 2014 - over 8 years ago - was the last time Essendon beat the Tigers.
