Essendon Bombers vs Richmond Tigers Preview
At the time of writing this it’s unclear who the current coach of Essendon is so it’s fair to say thew club is in a complete shambles of a state at the moment.
After getting smashed by Port Adelaide last week and nothing to play for it’s hard to see Essendon getting close to the Tigers here.
Richmond secured a spot in the finals last week and will be keen to go into the finals firing on all cylinders.
Expect Richmond to put a margin on Essendon here. Tigers by 40+.
Head To Head Bet
