Essendon and Richmond meet in a top four clash in the VFL this Sunday, both teams in a run of good form recently, however Richmond are looking extra strong, sitting pretty on top and only losing one game since round 6, however Essendon have only lost the two since round 4. Richmond hold a good recent record against the Dons, winning 3 of the past 4 games against the Bombers.
Essendon had a close 8 point loss to fellow top 4 hopeful Casey on Saturday in conditions, despite the Dons home game, favoured the side placed 2nd on the ladder due to be more like the conditions at Casey rather than Windy Hill. Nick Hind was his prolific best with his run and carry off half back and through the middle, whilst Alex Boyse came back into the side and kicked 2 goals for the Dons.
Richmond smashed top 4 hopefuls Box Hill away from home by 8 goals, a display that put the comp on notice of how well they were going. Corey Ellis and Shai Bolton were excellent through the middle of the ground whilst key forward Callum Moore was wasteful in front of goal, kicking 2.4 in a game he could have really put his stamp on for the Tigers
This could be a real classic like the past two games for the Dons. A win is a must if they want a top 2 spot to secure a home final at Windy Hill for the first week of finals. Dons by 7
