Essendon Bombers vs Richmond Tigers Preview

Quiet week at Essendon?

Much happen?

Clarko or no Clarko, the Bombers were pathetic last week against Port, and playing a revved up Richmond on the eve of the finals could make for another grim night.

It could be another case of sack the coach, beat the Tigers the next week but given that at the time we’ve published this Ben Rutten still has his job (or does he), how any team can get up from that is beyond me.

The Tigers have secured their place in the 2022 finals series and with Tom Lynch fresh from 8 goals after flogging the Hawks by 62 points last week, look set to put salt into the Essendon wounds.

Richmond has won each of their last 12 games against the Bombers and is very much on track to make it 13.

The Tigers for a 10+ goal win (60+ points) is terrific value.
