Essendon vs Richmond winner and margin

[SirJimi05]

Tough to tip yet again but i'm going with Essendon by 9 points.

 

[pulkrevolvingdoors]

All week into the Brisbane game I had a gut feeling that we'd lose. I was very happy to be proven wrong, but I've got that same feeling again. Richmond have been bursting our bubbles the past few games and I'm gonna tip 'em by 20. Hopefully I'm proven wrong again!

ETA: If Richo doesn't play, it makes it so much easier. Can't wait for 5pm Thursday =P

last two times we have played richmond we have been hit by injuries.. last year they ruined our party and i think the boys are hungry for revenge.. also the tigers are coming back from subi (late game on sunday too) so that might mean some sore legs.. i think the bombers by 15

 

[Gerbil]

I think we will win this one. Let's be honest they had a good win on the weekend but the week before they lost to carlton by 6 goals. Going on current form I don't know how you could tip against us.

Dons by 24

 

[WindyHillWatcher]

Dons by a lazy 45
and King to get reimered... if he plays

 

[gaelictiogar]

At this stage of a season ladder positions don't lie. It is 11th V 12th with us a half a game ahead. Nothing in it. Both teams going well. Both rebuilding. Both capable of firing for a couple of quarters. Both capable of folding like an armchair.

I honestly feel we have more talent before goal and the stats show that. I honestly do. If both teams play to similar percentage of ability I'll go with Tigers by 13 but it is anyone's game.

 

[dave_27]

Essendon by 27.

Lloyd 6 goals.

Brown Reimered.

 

[eth-dog]

well after Ryder's performance last week, I think we have a lot of talent against their forwards. I also think we might over power our forward line with them lacking in defence talls. bombers by 12 for mine

 

[daffo]

Heart says Bombers by 32 points, head says Richmond for some reason. I've tipped the Bombers the last couple of weeks and i think i'll go for them again this week.

Tigers on a five day turn around from Perth Good planning AFL!!!

Bombers 20.15 (135) Def Tigers 14.10(94)
1st Bombers 6.5 Tigers 3.2
2nd Tigers 6.3 Bombers 4.3
3rd Bombers 4.5 Tigers 3.3
4th Bomber 6.2 Tigers 2.2

Tigers to start sluggish, get a bit of a move along from the start of the second quater and get control of the game but from time on in the third they get over run, bombers storm over the line with a leg in the air.

 

[Wahooti Fandango]

Bomber by 20 points and Kane Johnson to get reimered.

Love your creativity Phatti Nice one!!

Close game all the way then storm home to win by 4 goals...

 

[jacko_boy]

essendon will win in a close one


hope richo doesnt play

 

[daffo]

McVeigh out, so i'll say Richmond by 15 points.

McVeigh out, so i'll say Richmond by 15 points.

McVeigh isn't our whole side

 

[daffo]

McVeigh isn't our whole side

I know that. Lovett/McVeigh out are huge losses. We will struggle to cover them.

 

[Artie Bucco]

Richmond should win by 4 goals...

Real test for the bombers, the way I have seen it recently is your senior players are leading the way...younger guys are doing what they should. If you can knock off the tigers with no McVeigh that's massive.

Simmonds and Hille should be a great duel, but I think they might have greater depth around the ground.

Edit forgot about Lovett..2 big losses, still with no Judd we were given no chance vs Tigers

That actually equals 22.15.147 to 12.10.82, as for my tip tigers to get home by 20 points only because of McVeigh injury

 

[DonMania#5]

Head says Richmond by a few goals, don't think we will be able to cover the injuries/suspensions, hopefully
i am proven wrong.

 

[VelvetSledge]

Injuries are going to be tricky to cover, indeed...

Heart and head say Bombers by 29.
Nathan Brown to get Reimered.

 

[retroparty]

We can win, we are Essendon.

Doesn't matter who is playing or who isn't.

Bombers by 15 points.

 

[Schmick]

McVeigh and Lovett out = Richmond by 20 points

Actually he had it right. You might be getting confused because the order is swapped around in the 2nd quarter

 

[Drunken Wookie]

I've hardly seen Essendon play this year but I'm backing the Tigers by a couple of goals based on our young forwards form of late. Deledio is a massive loss for us if he doesn't come up but evens the midfield battle up a bit with you guys losing McVeigh. For future reference what does getting 'Reimered' entail? He's playing as a tagger?
