From Bumhole Blitz.

So let's put this match in persepctive immediately. Essendon is not expected to win but it will be an important day for its young players. The success of the day will not be dependant on the scoreboard, rather the performance of Essendon first, second and third year players.

LMAOOO@Not expecting the scoreboard to reflect the perormance of its younger players especially when it looks like a 100 point thumping.
LMAO - Geez,you'll get a lot out of that boys.

Full Time

Tiges 20.18-138
Dons 10.6-66

Goals: Richo 4, Browny 3, Pettifer 2, Simmonds 2, Tuck 2, Tivs, Chaffey, Rodan, Deledio, Raines, Krakouer, Johnson

Took the pedal off in the last it seemed. Richo kicked 2 goals in the last half so he must be ok.

Tambling did a hammy at training during the week Ox so didn't play today.

Bombers had 16 senior players out but you can only beat what the opposition puts out there and we thumped them as we should have. We didn't have Bowden, Cogs, Schulz, Staff and Tambling so we can get stronger. 20 goals and 36 scoring shots. Must have been round 1, 2002 against the Pies since we kicked a score like that.

Tigers score well in Morwell

Exclusive to afl.com.au

Richmond has defeated a vastly inexperienced Essendon outfit by 72 points before a healthy crowd at Morwell in Gippsland.

In a lop-sided contest, the Tigers 20.18 (138) defeated the Bombers 10.6 (66) after leading by as much as 87 points before the Dons found some form in the final term.
 
Essendon fielded what was effectively a second string team for the Wizard Regional Challenge Series match, with the Dons' absent list including James Hird, Matthew Lloyd, Jason Johnson, Mark Johnson, Adam McPhee, Scott Lucas, Adam Ramanauskas, Damien Peverill, Justin Murphy, Mark McVeigh and Dean Rioli.

Shane Tuck impressed for the Tigers, showing plenty of poise through the midfield, while Mark Chaffey, Kane Johnson and David Rodan also played well.

Rodan injured his right knee and was taken from the ground in the final term. He will have scans on Sunday.

Essendon midfielder Brent Stanton was among the Dons' best, finishing with four goals.

Doesn't sound good about Rodan

Kingy was on 3AW before and made the point that we had 10 players playing today with less than 10 games.  So really, our kids are better than the bombers it seems.
Deledio didn't do much, Tambling didn't play, Pettifer did well he said, and Johnston captained beautifully getting over 30 touches.
Also said Rodan "appeared" to have the worst kind of knee injury on initial observations.  Bad luck to the kid 

[mightytiges]

Surprised me Moi when Kingy said that stat about 10 players having played <10 games. Our depth will improve as they play more games. Great stuff  .

Our backline did well today which was good hear. Obviously no Lloyd makes it far easier against the Dons as they struggle without diving boy.

I wonder which position(s) Tucky played today. Did fairly well last week too.

[harry bosch]

not sure how to take todays game , as big a win as 72 is you wonder if we shouldn't have done a little
better. Though that is probably being harsh...
Forgetting that like last week some promising signs , more directness and run..
Still lots of skill errors and decision making but improving i think...
Leave it to other people to comment on individual players but by god
the more i see of Deledio the less pain i feel about winning the spoon
CLASS!!!
And i didn't see one moccy...

[froars]

Did Zantuck play Harry, and how did he go?

[harry bosch]

99.9% sure he didn't play
