Richmond v Essendon
Saturday 7:25pm at MCG


Dreamtime at the ‘G is always an incredibly special matchup between two clubs with a long and proud history of showcasing Indigenous talent. With this game almost pick ‘em, another classic is forecast.
FormRichmond have fallen to seventh on the ladder, winning their first five games of the season before dropping their next four. There have been some heartbreaking defeats in those four losses with their last three coming all by margins of fewer than five points. The Tigers have posted over 90 just three times this year and not since Round 4 but their defence is second in the AFL.
Essendon are 10th on the ladder, also with a 5-4 record. The Bombers have won back-to-back games against Geelong and West Coast, posting 110-plus in both of them. Prior to that they had won just 1 of 5. Essendon are 3-1 in their four MCG matches this year. Essendon rank 7th in attack but a lowly 14th in defence.

What To ExpectThe under in this one is the best total of Round 10 and close to the best bet of the week. All the angles point to it, most notable how small favourites go after conceding 80 or fewer and how small underdogs do after conceding 80 or fewer. These two have a history of under games, Richmond are a big under team at the MCG and the Bombers a huge under team at night.
