Essendon and Richmond will face off in the Dreamtime at the ’G on Saturday night from opposite ends of the ladder - unfamiliar territory for both of them in a game they each club is desperate to win.
Saturday night’s annual Dreamtime at the ’G clash will be the 20th time it is held.Another huge crowd is expected, with ex-Bomber Michael Long’s Long Walk on again.Indigenous star Daniel Rioli says Richmond will set aside the negativity around their injury-hit season to focus on upsetting Essendon in Saturday night’s Dreamtime at the ’G clash.
A 119-point hiding from Brisbane last Saturday night was arguably Richmond’s lowest ebb under new coach Adem Yze as their percentage sunk below 60 and their record slumped to 1-9.Getty Images “I think everyone knows how we’re going on-field – pretty disappointing. We probably don’t want to be in the position we’re in now,” Rioli told reporters.
Essendon recruit Jade Gresham, also an Indigenous man, will play in the Dreamtime match for the first time, after having a taste of the occasion as a child in a half-time Auskick game. “I went to Ballarat for four years and came to every single one, and I always said to my mates that I wanted to play in this game,” Rioli said.
