Half time
Richmond 4-3 27
Essendon 5-4 34
Conditions seem perfect - ground may be a little slippery, but this easily the worst standard of football Ive seen in a game all year. Clangers clearly the leading statistics. Never seen a game anywhere with as many errors.

Bombers too good in an entertaining second half.
All 3 umpires booked in at OPSM Monday morning.
A hell of a game in front of a healthy crowd.
I don't know why but found myself barracking for Essendon so quite enjoyed the final minute of play.
Essendon suppirters might be scarce during the home and away season, but I do like that they turn up to finals in numbers and actually have a bit of crowd involvement.
