Matthew Richardson previews Saturday night's Round 13 clash against Essendon at Darwin's TIO Stadium.
1. The Northern Territory’s Tiger Army
Dreamtime in Darwin should boast a capacity 5461 fans. The players thrive on the support of the Tiger Army, couple that with the cultural experience of Dreamtime, and we have a Saturday evening blockbuster.
2. Hungry Bombers
Expect an intense effort from Essendon as they currently sit outside the eight. The Bombers have come under scrutiny over the last few weeks and face a tough draw. With games against West Coast Eagles, Geelong and Port Adelaide to follow, the Bombers will be hungry to earn the four points.
3. Houli Return
Richmond have All-Australian half-back, Bachar Houli returning to the side. Half backs that can open the game up with their ball use have never been more important in the AFL Houli brings slick foot skills, an attacking mindset and invaluable experience.
