It’s Dreamtime at the ‘G as Essendon and Richmond face off in the annual Sir Doug Nicholls Round showdown.
After such a promising start to life under Brad Scott, the Bombers (4-5, 102.7%%) are in a rut, having dropped four in a row. Essendon does welcome back Jordan Ridley from injury but loses Will Setterfield.
They meet a Tigers side (3-6, 99.6%) that’s suddenly breathed life into its season with two-straight wins as it welcomes back co-captain Toby Nankervis from injury but will be without Jacob Hopper for several weeks.
