Richmond v Essendon Highlights | Round 22, 2018 | AFL

[@bigbowlowrong4694]

Damn, that tackle at the end really was something special. Rioli chased him down and leapt at him like... well, a tiger.

[@Extra-Salt]

Not even certain rioli ever got out of second gear with that chasedown. Fantastic effort!

[@WarriorsSon]

I was there. My tigers very good for a half amazing for the 3rd and very average towards the end. The run down tackle of Rioli and Grimes attack on Tippa were memorable. Also caddy and his 4 goals.

1:52 Forshadowing of what was to come I love it

[@__-bw7ky]

MLKKK 6:40 foreshadow of what to come

[@sov839]

__ that’s what they were referring to

[@albymcgivney5479]

Yeah Riolis tackle was way better

[@jessgrover7352]

Almost beats Richmond and Hawthorn, beats WCE, GWS, Sydney, Adelaide, Port, and Geelong Loses to Carlton Essendon logic

[@bp4816]

loses to bulldogs and freo too

[@jessgrover7352]

Oh yeah true

[@nathanlifska2509]

Yeah those losses will haunt them.

[@jasonevans4291]

Jesse Grover Are you kidding Richmond had 6 stars out and they had Razor Ray who hates Richmond!

[@carletonclements4931]

It's nice, isn't it? :)

[@lukestubbs.]

Congrats to the Tiges for securing their minor premiers spot. Don’t get cocky now though. Other teams will be eager to knock Richmond off their feet

[@snowman01]

I love that Carlton and Essendon are so easy to beat. Richmond have locked up top 2 so low incentive, and rested several best 22 players yet still controlled the game. Essendon fans saying "only x points" fail to realise Bombers got a consolation goal at the end when Richmond was on cruise control.

[@superniuean9000]

Lol are you stupid

[@strke69]

Bombers played very well no doubt, those early season losses no doubt against the lower sides of course hurting at the end of the day but picked up especially after the Carlton loss and looked very dangerous week in week out can be a real threat in 2019 especially playing at their best consistently:)

[@matthewanthoulas2528]

Umpires hate Richmond so much

[@jessgrover7352]

I’m a crows fan and even I agree with this. The exact same thing happened when they played the pussies 2 weeks ago.

[@sunnycombo5275]

Matthew Anthoulas I mean I'm a hawks fan and I think that the free effective free kicks were even the rest just made their number look big

[@nathanlifska2509]

Yeah and that just love western Bulldogs. One criticism I have is consistency, like the block rule. Caddy clearly blocked and let Riewoldt mark it, which should’ve been a free kick, or how about that dumb protected space rule. It seems that ducking the head isn’t holding the ball anymore, and rushing a behind from inside the box isn’t a rule anymore, they keep changing the rules, the game was fine.

[@jasonevans4291]

Matthew Anthoulas Razor Ray hates Richmond

[@SilentHotdog28]

I'm a Pies fan and I see it differently, Bulldogs aren't favoured, maybe for a little bit in 2016, but not now. Umpires love the tigers, maybe just tonight they loved Essendon more.

[@BurningRubber454]

Good match Still pulled out a win

[@AnthonyLeighDunstan]

You did well Dons. Well Don.

[@God99530]

I love Richmond tigers!

[@chabby_joe]

"If this is the 11th best team in the comp, we've got a good comp!" BT on Essendon. The better side won on the night, but Essendon is not the 11th best side. They should be around 6th. If they can add Dylan Shiels from GWS, they will only get better. A healthy Joe Daniher (some forget he's an All Australian) will also go a long way to their forward structure.

[@xavierglenn2675]

Is it just me or is it like Richmond’s games getting closer by margins Geelong and Essendon and hawthorn are really close to beating them Richmond is gonna be under fire in the finals

[@jackogamer340]

xavier glenn um no that’s incorrect we have just switched off in final quarters due to the fact we had a home QF and we have guns out

[@jacksonbyrne5835]

Typacalised isn't a word Bruce..

[@YoshiFan15_256]

20 wins consecutively already at the MCG?

[@planetX15]

I believe it is.

[@termnater2637]

planetX15 yea it is but this and the cats match might be a Singh

[@nathanlifska2509]

Yeah, can you believe they’ve played 20 times in less than a year and a half.

[@jackogamer340]

Chloe lol go away hawthorn loser

[@shaungordon9737]

We didn't have our best team on and the umpires were against us with some shocking calls, but we still pulled it off Not to mention this win was urgently needed for Essendon, and just another game for the Tiges Go Tiges!

[@hudmaughan]

Go The Mighty Tigers! Tiger For Life!

[@termnater2637]

wow Essendon come home too little too late

[@adelhabouchi9447]

Depressing for us Essendon fans :(

[@SilentHotdog28]

Mate, I wanted you to win and I'm a Pies fan haha. I just want to see them knocked off their perch.

[@NedLowe2006]

Tilto Gaming did that loss mean Essendon can’t play finals

[@adelhabouchi9447]

Neddy Boy yes :(

[@NedLowe2006]

Tilto Gaming sorry to hear that

[@losscairo128]

Well we will be smashing them next year

[@chocccers9947]

Where’s Dusty’s don’t argue

[@BiggySn1p3r]

They always show Alex Rance getting tackled in the the highlights. I'm from US, so I can't watch it in full. Is that a common thing with Rance?

[@wildcraig7270]

BiggySn1p3r yes because people hate him coz he dives

[@quinnlongers]

It doesn’t really happen much more than other players but rance’s main ability is defence and spoiling marks

[@BiggySn1p3r]

I haven't seen him dive, but from what I've seen it looks like every time someone passes the ball to him he tries to make a move and ends up getting tackled all the time. I also see a lot of him trying to intercept a mark from the opposite team, but never seems to do that either.

[@wildcraig7270]

BiggySn1p3r he dives sometimes but stages

[@jackogamer340]

Bad Panda he’s done it once you flog

[@nba__2k__goat439]

Free kick Essendon

[@logicalhalt-1096]

They got so many Soft ones and it was 15 27 Free marks But we still won

[@jasonevans4291]

What about the free kick Razor paid against Broad when he got tackled over the goal line!

[@admyt2101]

Gooo Richmond 😀😀😀😀

[@dandwyer4394]

Can someone put titanic music over rioli's rundown?

[@christophervinci6835]

Good attempt bombers, if Merrett got that last goal it would've been a win I reckon

[@gameguru1234]

Christopher Vinci I reckon if Essendon had the highest score at the end of the game, they would've won...

[@ardaozgan6507]

@@gameguru1234 you’re funny 😆

[@TotalDramaOwenandNoah]

​@@gameguru1234💀

[@bunglegamingmusic1784]

Richmond played well, but we could’ve won if we made our chances, we didn’t play like our last few weeks tonight, also if this was at Etihad we would’ve won I think

[@logicalhalt-1096]

Videogamer12000 also you would have lost by 30 if you didn’t have 27 free kicks when we had 15 Also They were some off the dumbest Free kicks i have seen In my life.

[@DennyNFT]

Essendon did well

[@haydenk4006]

Congrats Richmond, seasons over for us. I feel like the umps kept us in it but we couldn't take our chances

[@termnater2637]

HK pig our season will be over tormmorrow

[@haydenk4006]

na i see you winning

[@termnater2637]

HK pig yeah if we do win that will be good but it's in adelaide and we've gotta watch out for Sloane the only way we can get in the 8 if we win tomorrow and you guyz beat port adelaide next week and Melbourne loose

[@planetX15]

HK pig Does HK stand for Hong Kong?

[@termnater2637]

planetX15 you know what KK stands for

#EatEmAlive

[@stuartfarrow2338]

Or if they die from shock, eat them dead.

[@northofhell9474]

Looks like Richmond will win the flag

[@northofhell9474]

So glad that I was wrong

[@kadesaxon4547]

That game was true AFL

[@thorn249]

Does true AFL include biased umpires?

[@yuwichewy7091]

The flag is Richmonds to lose

[@jasonevans4291]

please dont let Razor Ray umpire a Richmond game in the finals .. Clearly hates the Tigers!

[@rubsmay7304]

Jason Evans don’t we all?

[@termnater2637]

Billie Rose Genzio no I don't hate richmond

[@Dylan-nv7ny]

William F 👍

[@Brad_hj2tuff]

Essen-done....

[@kanenikpalj5016]

Well see you nxt year Essendon because your not making finals

[@jimbonmfc2555]

Won the flag

[@holdencars6026]

Essendon are hopeless. Richmond had some major players out tonight and they still managed to win.

[@bp4816]

fantasia and daniher are noone too ye

[@jasonevans4291]

Holden Cars Dont forget Essendon had Razor Ray as well

[@rubsmay7304]

I mean you can never rely on an player and all the players that were out were just average including cotchin he’s not that good

[@hellokeejrjeh1985]

Essendon dont have daniher, fantasia, ambrose, gleeson, mckernen and begley that is our whole backline and forward line and u said u guys had some players out😒😒

[@SilentHotdog28]

Richmond are good, but they barely have any injuries, maybe if the other teams in the comp had none, they'd have a better chance at finals and perform better in general.....look at West Coast and Collingwood, Collingwood have no backline, it's all on the sidelines, West Coast were plagued for a chunk of the season by Mark LeCras and Josh Kennedy being injured along with a few others, now Natanui is out......Port Adelaide are now losing games since they've lost some of their big players......Richmond didn't play as good last night as they normally do, because they didn't have their usual outfit.......Well that's how it's like for every other club.....Things might be different if everyone had their best 22.

[@rubsmay7304]

I love all the richmond fans saying the only reason Essendon got close to richmond was because they had their best players out and the umpires were against them?? What a joke

[@jasonevans4291]

Billie Rose Genzio well with the guysvin that missed ladt night they beat you by 12 goals in dreamtime

[@jasonevans4291]

Billie Rose Genzio Cotchin got Jobes brownlow because he was full of gear. Maybe you need Dank back!

[@Brad_hj2tuff]

Essendon must of been running short on the deca lol

[@shaungordon9737]

Well it is true. Also Essendon were playing for their survival, Richmond are gonna finish first no matter what happens so it was just another game to them

[@simonvanna]

Free kick Essendon, good win tigers

[@termnater2637]

maisim yay another north fan even know we lost last week to the doggies

[@boothebly_productions5153]

Go bombers take on the bombers 😀😀😀😀😀😄😄😄😄😄😄😃😃😃😃😃😃

[@braydenle9628]

First

[@jackogamer340]

Easy win over a pathetic team... we had 5 of our best players out and still won

[@jasmined4326]

How was it an easy win if you only won by 2 goals? And yes I am a Bomber supporter and from the start knew they would've lost to the Tigers but saying that is was an easy win when we only needed 2 goals to win is absolutely ridiculous. After saying that I still think Richmond will go back to back with the form they're in.

[@jessgrover7352]

Don’t forget umpires were helping Essendon too.

[@christophervinci6835]

barely. the effective free kicks were even the rest just skewed the stats, as usual

[@lachiehopkins216]

you had Rance, Martin, Rioli and Riewoldt and you won by less than 10 points. wasn't really an easy win with with your best players out.

[@termnater2637]

you should have them back next week
