I hope Fletcher remembers it is the Adam Goodes round and it isn't all about his massive milestone.

Well if wasn't before he's just made damn sure that it will be now....

Player ratings, round nine: The hot and the not

Ben Guthrie

May 29, 2015


RICHMOND v ESSENDON



Hot: Alex Rance has scored 58.9 points in the past month, which is ranked 31st in the competition. This is the best four-week period of his career to date. Bombers speedster Travis Colyer has climbed the overall standings from 378th to 275th this season, which is the biggest relative rise at Essendon.

Not: Ben Griffiths has averaged just 5.9 points this season – a drop of 24 per cent on last year. Courtenay Dempsey has scored just 17.8 points in the past month, which is the lowest-scoring four-week block of his career. He has donned the green vest in a few games though.

Could be plenty of fans still coming into the ground after the game has started.

Essendon will initially be pumped up due to Fletcher's 400th and love to get off to a fast start in games while, apart from last week, our first quarters have been ordinary. So we need to be switched on with our intensity and tackling pressure, take our chances with our scoring shots and for a change start well in these Dreamtime games (touchwood).

Bigger build up than the 2000 Olympics.

They may be pumped but lets hope thats all they have.
I hate the vomits and with every win we have against them I relish it with great delight.

With Dusty playing his 400th it's good to know that Bartlett and the Tigers lost his 400th game and then Tuckie and the hawks won his 400th game which means that the footy world is due for a loss of a 400th played game.
