Parish, Wright kick goals for Bombers
Darcy Parish has kicked the first goal of the second term and given the Dons a spark.
They still have a lot of work to do but to have any chance, Essendon needs the likes of Parish and others to drift forward and kick goals.
Peter Wright followed it with a mark and goal.
Tigers 39, Bombers 32 with 18 mins to go in Q2.
QT: Richmond 6.3 (39) to Essendon 3.2 (20)
Everything is going to script at the MCG with the Tigers leading the Bombers at quarter time.
Richmond’s Ben Miller kicked a goal after the siren to extend the margin after he was held in a marking contest.
The Bombers have been earnest but they don’t have the quality or confidence to work their way through Richmond’s defence, nor do they have solutions for the mobility of forwards like Noah Cumberland.

Mid-season draftee standing up for Bombers
Massimo D’Ambrosio started the year on Richmond’s VFL list but he has standing tall for the Bombers in these final weeks of the AFL season.
D’Ambrosio has kicked two goals in the first term and his goals are keeping the Dons in this game.
Tigers 33, Dons 20 with 90 seconds to go in Q1.
Rioli extends lead for Tigers
Maurice Rioli Jr has kicked his first goal of the night and it has seen the Tigers run out to an 18-point lead.
The Bombers are struggling to find a path through the Tigers’ defence and it is costing them dearly.

Prestia comes to the fore
After that high-scoring start, the game has become more contested so it was no surprise that Dion Prestia came to the fore for the Tigers working into the forward line and kicking a valuable goal.
Prestia is priceless to this Tigers team.
Tigers 19, Dons 8 with 10 mins to go in Q1.
Tigers lead early
Three goals in two minutes is a hell of a start to a footy match and that is what Essendon and Richmond have given us.
Noah Cumberland kicked the opener for the Tigers but Jake Stringer responded with a long-distance goal.
Cumberland kicked his second to give the Tigers another lead.
Tigers 12, Dons 6 with 16 mins to go in Q1.

Bombers stars praise Hurley
Bombers stalwart Michael Hurley plays his last game of the club tonight before retirement and he has been warmly praised by a number of former teammates in a video put together by Essendon.
Hurley announced this week he would be retiring although he hopes to take on a coaching role next season.
First bounce is set for 7.25pm AEST.
‘We are ready’: Dangerfield, Cats ready for finals
Geelong superstar Patrick Dangerfield says his team is ready for the finals after 13 wins in a row.
“We are ready,” Dangerfield told Fox Footy.
“This group is ready for the challenge. I don’t think we have peaked yet. It’s a great group to be a part of. This is a lot of fun.”
Zach Tuohy and Joel Selwood carried Dangerfield off following the win.

FT: Geelong 19.19 (131) d West Coast 7.4 (46)
Geelong have done the job in the home and away season, now they need to do it in the finals.
The Cats are the top team and showed it with a dominant win over the hapless Eagles who now need to take the summer to get healthy and get back to winning games after this horror campaign.
Questions remain about the health of Cam Guthrie’s shoulder and Jake Kolodjashnij’s head but they have a week to get right before the finals begin.

Stengle turns provider
Tyson Stengle has made some history at Geelong tonight with his goal-kicking and he added score involvement to his statistics with a pass to Tom Hawkins for the last game.
Cats 130, Eagles 46 with four mins to go.
