Katie Brennan's presser today:

---------------------------------------------

Skipper Katie Brennan said it was "huge advantage" to have the trio return.

"They're three of our leaders coming in, which is huge for us across all lines," Brennan said.

"Bec is a general down back, her leadership down there is first-class, and Sarah and Gabby in the middle, they really set the tone for us."

Brennan said it was "a privilege and a great honour" to be part of the annual Dreamtime clash.

"We're absolutely pumped, it's going to be an amazing occasion," she said.

"We've also got our own Stephy Williams, who was our first Indigenous player to design the guernsey this year, and such traditions and family history has gone into this design.

"It's been such a great process to learn more about her story and culture and tradition."

After two tough losses in a row against Fremantle and Gold Coast, Brennan said the Tigers were hungry to get back on the winners' list this weekend.

"Essendon are in red-hot form," she said.

"It's going to take our very best to compete with them during the process of the game, and that's what we're looking to do, to really compete in every moment."

Full R7 preview: Richmond v Essendon

By Gemma Bastiani

In the second ever AFLW Dreamtime match, both Richmond and Essendon will be looking to solidify a chance at finals under the lights of Ikon Park on Saturday evening. The Tigers, thanks to injury, are sputtering in a season that initially had so much promise. Now with key forward Caitlin Greiser and winger Beth Lynch unavailable through injury and suspension respectively, options have become even more limited for coach Ryan Ferguson. While they certainly have plenty of spirit, and have regularly found an extra gear in final quarters, it's starting to become too big a hill for the Tigers to climb.

Essendon, however, wants to play possession footy, still with strength on the inside thanks to the likes of Maddy Prespakis and Georgia Nanscawen, but more effectively finding those outside options like Brooke Walker and Georgia Gee. Coach Natalie Wood has given the forwards more freedom to roam higher up the field to support, with knowledge that they will work hard back into the attacking line when the ball has been won.

Tip: The Bombers will entrench themselves in the top eight. Essendon by 18 points.
