Richmond v Essendon
Saturday 7.20pm (AET) @ MCG
Essendon's great defender Dustin Fletcher will play his 400th AFL match against Richmond in the 'Dreamtime' clash at the MCG. He will be only the 3rd player in VFL/AFL history to get to 400. Hawthorns Michael Tuck played 426 and Richmond's Kevin Bartlett played 403. Essendon have improved in recent weeks and are attempting to play and faster game with less over possessing of the ball.
The Tigers shutdown Port and appear to have toughened up since their weak loses to Geelong and North Melbourne. Richmond are a much better outfit with a fit Brett Deledio who has complimented Richmonds other guns, Trent Cotchin, Dustin Martin and Jack Riewoldt.
