Title: Richmond vs Essendon --- Dreamtime at the 'G --- Round 10, 2016
Post by: one-eyed on May 05, 2016, 12:00:42 AM
2016 marks the 6th time Richmond will wear an Indigenous themed and developed Guernsey for the Dreamtime at the ‘G game. 

The 2016 version of the Guernsey is unique in that it is based on our yellow clash Guernsey – the first time our Dreamtime Guernsey has been predominantly yellow in colour.

This will be a hard one to lose.

Look for a few soft injuries, a few of our better players to have a bad game, and a few new faces in the team. 

However even with these subtle tactics Essendon will be hungry to lose this game as well.

Match preview: Essendon v Richmond

AFL.com.au
23 May, 2016


SUMMARY

Essendon will take on a Richmond side that has recaptured its confidence after critical back-to-back wins in the last two weeks. The Tigers followed their after-the-siren win over the Sydney Swans in round eight with a comprehensive victory over Fremantle in Perth last weekend. With skipper Trent Cotchin back at the helm and in good form, Damien Hardwick's side looks more settled than it did during its six-game losing streak from round two to seven. The Bombers continue to struggle to score and fell away after half-time last week against St Kilda to drop their seventh game in a row. John Worsfold's team is finding it hard to string together four competitive quarters with a makeshift line-up this year, which leaves it exposed against the opposition most weeks. 

WHERE AND WHEN: MCG, Saturday, May 28, 7.25pm AEST


LAST FIVE TIMES
R22, 2015, Richmond 10.14 (74) d Essendon 7.5 (47) at the MCG
R9, 2015, Richmond 10.12 (72) d Essendon 8.11 (59) at the MCG
R20, 2014, Richmond 14.11 (95) d Essendon 11.11 (77) at the MCG
R11, 2014, Essendon 15.14 (104) d Richmond 7.12 (54) at the MCG
R23, 2013, Richmond 15.14 (104) d Essendon 9.11 (65) at the MCG

THE SIX POINTS


1. The Bombers will need to lift their scoring if they're to beat the Tigers this week. Essendon is ranked last for points scored this season, averaging only 60 points a game.

2. This week will be the 198th meeting between the two clubs. Essendon has won 104 games to Richmond's 89, with four draws. Since 2012 it's five wins to three to the Tigers' way. 

3. The annual Dreamtime at the 'G was first played in 2006, with the 10 meetings split mostly in Essendon's favour. The Bombers have won six of the contests, and three of the last four. 

4. The Bombers have proved to be a high handballing side this year, ranking second in the competition (averaging 191 a game). The Tigers play in a contrasting style, averaging 159 handballs a game (ranking 15th). 

5. Richmond captain Trent Cotchin returned to the Tigers' line-up last week in brilliant touch, gathering a career-high 39 disposals (including 18 contested possessions). He had missed the previous two weeks with a fractured cheekbone.

6. Zach Merrett's ascent as a midfielder has been reflected in the Schick Official AFL Player Ratings. The Essendon youngster has jumped to No.122 on the overall list after starting the year ranked 151.


IT'S A BIG WEEK FOR … Michael Hartley. The Bombers defender has impressed in his first year at the club and will face another big challenge in the backline this year faced against Jack Riewoldt.


PREDICTION: Richmond by 36 points

Tiger Ellis wary of Essendon in Dreamtime clash

AFL.com.au
23 May 2016


BRANDON Ellis can't wait for Dreamtime at the 'G, but the Richmond midfielder/defender knows Essendon looms as a potential banana peel for his resurgent Tigers.

The annual blockbuster recognises the indigenous contribution to Australian football and always draws a massive crowd.

And Saturday night's clash against the struggling Bombers and their patched up team comes at a critical point in the Tigers' season.

At 1-6 after seven rounds, a fourth-straight finals appearance appeared a long way off at Punt Road, but back-to-back victories have breathed new life into Richmond's season.

Speaking after his side's 38-point win over Fremantle at Domain Stadium on Saturday night, Ellis said the Tigers would need to keep a lid on their form reversal.

"Essendon have played some pretty good footy this year, they took it up to North last week in the second half, so they're going pretty well and we can't take them lightly," he said.

"We'll have our best foot forward next week."

Ellis had 18 disposals in the victory over the Dockers as Richmond won the contested possessions (155-146) and clearances (42-36) on a stormy Perth night.

The on-baller was pleased with the way his side negotiated the awful conditions.

"It was a tough slog. It was that windy and that slippery, and it kept raining and then it would dry up and then it would rain again," Ellis said.

"We just had to play wet-weather footy, and credit to the boys they put in a pretty good four-quarter effort.

"I thought our mids stepped up and really dominated and I think we won the contested ball and the tackle (counts), which is what we needed to do to get over the line."

Bit of a no win situation really, anything less that an 80 point win is a failure/loss. Which, of course, wont happen. Essendon will lift massively, we'll choke and they'll get the 4 points a la rd 2. Essendon by a (free) kick.

We need to score 100+pts, really need to improve our potency inside 50 and this is the game to do it. If we cant get a decent score against the bummers then we need to really look at our forward structures and maybe change things up. Obviously kicking between the two big white sticks would be a good starting point.

Morris was v good tonight. He's a whipping boy but hes been good since he was moved to the backline - his last 4 weeks have been solid.. tonight was nigh on the best game hes played  since season 1, took several intercept marks and cant recall him giving away any unforced error freekicks or clangers which is probably a first.

I have come to the realisation tonight that Essendon's version of the grog squad have become the most average bunch of supporters in the league. They are offensive and completely out of line to the point they need to be reported to the AFL.
They need to be investigated for their offensive songs and chants.

Geez, if playing the Roos we would be 10 goals down. Our lack of execution is terrible at times. Even on a turnover we cant string decent posessions together. We as usual against weaker sides have clocked off. No killer instinct and the usual laziness and clumsiness creeping in. Deserve a spray at halftime for that lack of effort.

Ive said this so many times in the past - we are a stuffing dumb footy side. The amount of times we give away stupid freekicks when we have a 2 on 1 is astounding. just astounding.

I was so expecting this pea heart last quarter and yet again the guys havent let me down, so typical Richmond.
Agree to all the above.

We tried to play unaccountable bruise free footy using the minimum required 'effort' to get the win. If it was a once in a blue moon slack-off you'd ignore it. However, it's a costly recurring theme year after year for us and reflects our inability to stay mentally focused and put 4 quarters of AFL standard footy together on a regular basis. Even last year when we won 15 games, we were lucky to have 2-3 four quarter efforts. It's not good enough. Coming out of the 3/4 time huddle switched off for the last quarter was no different to how we came out after halftime in the Elimination Final and froze in the 3rd quarter which cost us the final. The same can be said about allowing the Bombers the last two goals of the 2nd quarter through our own stupidity. Our laziness and mental frailties on display once again  :help.

We'll take the 4 points but that's all we'll get out of the game. If we get flogged next week then it'll show this win to be nothing but fool's gold. Only a win next week against a top side can make-up for a such an undisciplined, lazy and fundamentally sub-standard performance last night.

Just like I support a club at a local level despite them not having a great win/loss ratio, I support Richmond. I could not imagine not supporting Richmond. They make mistakes, they lose, they annoy me. However,  I will always support clubs at different levels because I love footy. I just can't turn it off and walk away.

The little guy on wheels language towards female Ricmond supporters was just unbelievable. He should be banned! They are investigating a racism issue with a fan. What I witnessed was much much worse. I understand that some people are dealt a bad hand in life but in this case he is out of line. He should not be allowed to drink that much.

The Richmond Grog squad has been critisized in the past for their chants. The chants coming from that Essendon group were worse then anything I have ever heard at the football. before.
