Essendon Bombers vs Richmond Tigers Preview
The price between these two teams would have been flipped before last weekend.
Richmond ($1.65) will start favourite in the Dream Time game on Saturday night against Essendon ($2.25) after their win over Geelong last Friday night.
The old band got back together with Dusty, Cotchin and Reiwoldt all contributing against the Cats.
It was a return to form after a very ordinary start to the season had many questioning the Tiges but the 16.6 accuracy may have flattered the final score line.
Essendon suffered their fourth straight defeat against Brisbane at The Gabba but they were in the contest for a large portion of that game.
They get a real opportunity at the MCG in front of a big crowd and considering their inflated price, that is the way I’m leaning.
