's dulcet tones added absolutely nothing to the spectacle

Essendon are going to get rolled by 100+ in a final if they make it. My god they're bad.

They're playing a VFL side that has been beaten by 15 goals and 20 goals and barely scrape through

They'll get found out long before the finals start. They remind me of St Kilda but a winning version. Look at any of the other side's in the 8 and it's hard to see Essendon beating any of them when it gets serious, and your mob are still on the move upwards too.

 

[Elixuh]

That loss is as good as a win.

Missing 9000 players, losing by huge margins in the previous rounds, Bolton gets concussed, and they fight right to the very end.

Great work Richmond.

Agree that was a W for the tigers given the circumstances. Reckon you would have won if Bolton hadn't been off as well.

Big L for the Bombers.

 

[bloodsbigot]

Sydney's flag to lose.

I'm sure the media will get behind whichever Victorian team we play.

Great work Richmond.

Happy with it too. Don't mind losing this season while developing players, Sonsie, Ralphsmith, Campbell, Green, Lefau, Ryan, Cumberland, Brown, Miller, Dow, McAuliffe.

That's half the team with not much experience but games like tonight help drive growth with those players and we'll see the benefit in coming years as we work out who'll make it or not.

 

[boncer34]

Good by the Tiges to almost roll a half strength Essendon.

 

[Grechy]

Yeah if I’m an Essendon supporter I’m worried. Barely beat a team who could field a team and took most of last week to beat North. Favourable draw. Wouldn’t be surprised if they fall off pretty quickly.

 

[HirdsTheWord]

It's odd Essendon can put a player on their arse 25 metres out prior to a kick in and
nothing happens

When said player takes a dive it’s not hard to move on

 

[BIGHAWK23]

Good by the Tiges to almost roll a half strength Essendon.

1/4 strength tigers*

 

[Bungeye]

Congrats to tigers fans on a well earned victory!

17-14 was the right result in the end.

Commiserations to the Essendon supporters...

We won’t even make it to finals based on the last 2 weeks.

 

[CoastersFlag No.5]

Wow a defender winning a best on? Can't remember the last time that happened!

 

[OverseasCrowNA]

Essendon and Carlton and GWS oh my

three horse race for the premiership!

GWS will be 2nd place to Sydney at this rate.

Pathetic isn’t it, doesn’t even have good skills, only captain because he’s stuck around

Summarises Essendon really.

 

[Black Saab]

Agree that was a W for the tigers given the circumstances. Reckon you would have won if Bolton hadn't been off as well.

Big L for the Bombers.

From here on, the Bombers draw here significantly tougher starting next week against the Sun's up there.

I always want Richmond to win but in these circumstances staying in the hunt for pick 1 is huge given the Tassie situation.

Seeing them stay in the game the whole way and make a number of fight backs throughout it is pretty satisfying especially given the personnel available.

 

[blinkd]

Ridley was great, especially considering it was his 1st game of the season.

[Daka]

We have 18 players on the injury list & another AFL-listed player has a suspected ACL injury... our year has been cursed we played well tonight even though not using that as an excuse some of the kids showed stuff, really like Kane McAuliffe.

Cumberland & Ryan didn't play that good it is what is it.

 

[Black Saab]

Happy with it too. Don't mind losing this season while developing players, Sonsie, Ralphsmith, Campbell, Green, Lefau, Ryan, Cumberland, Brown, Miller, Dow, McAuliffe.

Totally agree.

Though he made some mistakes I thought Cumberland is actually starting to get a feel for the game again at the top level.

I missed the start of the game, did Balta begin down back or was he moved there? Either way he strengthens our defence.

 

[HirdsTheWord]

Yeah if I’m an Essendon supporter I’m worried. Barely beat a team who could field a team and took most of last week to beat North. Favourable draw. Wouldn’t be surprised if they fall off pretty quickly.

We will plummet from here

To not do a number in North and Richmond is a disgrace. And says far more than our position on the ladder.

We are going to get exposed very soon.

You're spot on!

Played really well.

 

[hutchy31]

Wow a defender winning a best on? Can't remember the last time that happened!

I stopped watching, presume it was Ridley?

If so then good. He was clearly the best player on the ground. If the panel found a way to give it to an average midfielder that would’ve been irritating.

 

[Inspecta Gadget]

Pathetic isn’t it, doesn’t even have good skills, only captain because he’s stuck around

Wouldn't take Merrett at St Kilda?

 

[Black Saab]

Points conceded?

Bombers percentage is 104.4 with a favourable draw.

It's the lowest of all teams from 12th and up.
