Essendon coach John Worsfold hopes the positivity around the Bombers’ fighting AFL loss to St Kilda and a week of goalkicking practice will help his side to a win over Richmond.
Essendon were left to rue missed scoring opportunities in a tight loss to the Saints, but Worsfold defended the kicking technique of spearhead Joe Daniher after his wayward display.
The Bombers welcome back David Zaharakis and Matthew Leuenberger for the MCG clash on Saturday as they look to snap a 13-game losing streak.
