How did Batch go last week? I will watch the replay Thursday when I get home, I wasn't too impressed with him in the games to date, I find him slow...

Essendon have no small forwards currently. Jetta isn't playing and Davey apparently won't be back yet. 

They have bigs and mediums which suit us better IMO. Have to stop Ryder. If he plays like a gimp we will win. Hurley and Crameri I believe we have covered. Even if Jetta comes in Morris will flog him. Need to shut down Zaka and Stanton. Watson can rack up 30 touches if he wants but if he's got no one to feed them to they are stuffed.

Jetta has been tearing it up in the VFL apparently and is line to play.

Lots of people tear up VFL doesn't make them any good.  Morris will have Jetta covered easily.

Been practising his squealing and diving.

Hibberd could miss for the Bombers even though they reckon he'll be okay.

We need to watch super sub Howlett. This guy when on song can be a goal kicking ball magnet. Must take him seriously.


Also I heard from Jim Boogie that a young bloke from the NT by the name of Peppy Tide may be a surprise inclusion.

Crap.  As he has been too often this season.

Yes, we will need to watch him very closely.  I think this is a match up for Chaplin. Chaps can be trusted to perform on both smalls and talls. He's been the recruit of the season to be honest and All-Australian isn't out of his reach. Should have been AA at Port but the AFL discriminate against some interstate players like Troy

Do you think Chaplin will be able to run with him, he gets around a bit??

[Coach]

It depends how high they are playing Kommer. If he plays at half forward then Chaplin can go with him. However someone else will have to mind him when he goes into the midfield.

I'd put our worst defender on him too, but that's not going to be Chappy

SUMMARY
For the first time since the inception of the 'Dreamtime at the G' match in 2005, Richmond and Essendon will both be in the top eight leading into the centrepiece game of Indigenous Round. There is a lot at stake for both clubs, with Essendon coming off back-to-back losses against Geelong and the Brisbane Lions, and Richmond looking to snare a big scalp at the MCG after losses earlier this season to Collingwood and the Cats. A crowd of more than 80,000 should be on hand to see two deep midfields go head-to-head.   

WHERE AND WHEN: MCG, Saturday May 25, 7.45pm

LAST FIVE TIMES
Rd 22, 2012: Richmond 13.24 (102) d Essendon 8.9 (57) at the MCG
Rd 8, 2012: Essendon 19.14 (128) d Richmond 15.19 (109) at the MCG
Rd 16, 2011: Essendon 15.15 (105) d Richmond 9.12 (66) at the MCG

THE SIX POINTS
1. Neither side has dominated recent contests, with the Tigers holding a 6-5 advantage since 2007. The wins are split at four apiece since the 'Dreamtime' concept began in 2005.

2. Brandon Ellis is a player on the rise, highlighted by his 39-possession game against the Demons. Ellis started the season ranked No.426 in the Official AFL Player Ratings and has risen to No.378. His steady progression should continue within more midfield time.

4. Essendon has the second-best attack this season, averaging 114 points per game. Richmond is ranked eighth with an average of 100 points per game.
 
5. No team has laid fewer tackles this season than Richmond, which has an average of 51.5 per game. Essendon is ranked seventh with 63.6 per game.
 
6. Both the Tigers and Bombers have been strong centre clearance teams this season. Essendon is ranked third and Richmond fifth.
