Richmond V Essendon Match Thread

Well I have a funny feeling that this game for us will turn out to be Nightmare at the MCG instead of Dreamtime....Going by our starts to games this year it could be a 10 goal to 1 first qtr..

I would love to have more confidence but form really says it all... :scream

Dont really care about the quarter time score WAT as long as we are in front when it counts. :thumbsup

However I do share your frustration at the slow starts.

I believe we will go close to beating Essendon if we can eliminate the ridiculous stupid "school boy" errors such as the "fresh air" swings committed by Rance and Graham on the goal line.

Not having basic footy smarts is gifting the opposition too many soft goals.

Win the centre square clearances and we are a real show

A ruckman with half a clue on how to give our mids an advantage in this area would be helpful  :wallywink

Its going to mean alot to James Hird to win this game on saturday night being the first Dreamtime and first game against richmond as coach. Hird and Thompson (The real mastermind behind the rise of Essendon this year) have been all about making statements, they are going to want to make one against us on Saturday night and I think they will.

Essendon to win by 10 to 15 goals possibly more.

Warrior wear to toughen up Tigers
Sam Morwood

From: Herald Sun May 18, 2011 12:00AM

RICHMOND players will wear guernseys featuring indigenous motifs in the Dreamtime Saturday night clash against Essendon at the MCG.
The artwork depicts footballs on either side of a river on the traditional yellow sash. Indigenous Round features a "warrior" theme.

"The footballs on either side of the river mimic the shape of shields used by Aboriginal warriors," designer Jirra Lulla Harvey said.

"Aboriginal football players are not only great athletes, but ... local heroes and community ambassadors.

"For our young people, AFL stars are seen as contemporary warriors."

Tiffany Cherry's Flash Footy documentary on indigenous footballers will screen on Fox Sports One at 7pm tonight.

Awful jumper. Bordering on our worst.

Looks like we've sown on an offcut from a pair of happy pants

Would of been much better to transform the sash into a band of yellow dots, ala dot painting style...if anything at all.
