Essendon Bombers vs Richmond Tigers Preview
Dreamtime at TIO Stadium is going to be a must-watch this week and although it may not be the spectacle we see at the MCG each year it’s always a fixture we look forward to.
Essendon just can’t by a win at the moment, their forward line is so dysfunctional I just can’t see how they can kick a winning score against the Tigers.
They do have the advantage of a longer break over Richmond but the Tigers should have no problems winning this.
Head To Head Bet
We're tipping Richmond to win at $1.20 odds.
First Goal Scorer
First Goal Scorer: Jack Riewoldt at $9.00.
