Best footy we've played this season

BEllis - much improved performed. Only pulled put of 2 contests Have said it before what he showed laat night must be the norm not the exception.

Moore - still not sold but alot better. Set shots are a major concern. In a close contests cannot afford to misss some of those "sodas". Lack of 2nd efforts at times a worry. Needs to get out the refusing to chase out of the system ASAP

Edwards - BOG by a long way

Butler - where's that been?

Thought Nankervis was outstanding

From Robbo's column:

4. ESSENDON
You can bring the heat, but you also have to handle the heat from the opposition. Essendon was OK in the pressure stakes, but its ball use disintegrated under Richmond’s defensive system, which broke the Bombers. They went at 59 per cent efficiency and coughed up 89 points from their turnovers, 10 goals coming from turnovers in the defensive half of the ground. They were jittery on the big stage, which is becoming a unwelcome trend.
