The Bombers will be hoping to imitate last week’s form this Saturday night against Richmond, after producing an unexpected four- point victory over Geelong in a thrilling performance at Etihad Stadium.

The Tigers, who last week were handed a 103-point thrashing from the Blues, will be raring to go on Saturday night at the MCG against the Bombers, as the two traditional rivals face off in the highly-anticipated ‘Clash of the Sash’ match.

The last time the two sides met - during the Round 9 2011 Dreamtime at the ‘G clash - Richmond outclassed the Bombers, claiming victory 16.9.105 to13.11.89.

Clash of the Sash
Two of the AFL’s greatest rivals will go head to head in the inaugural ‘Clash of the Sash’ between Essendon and Richmond at the MCG this Saturday night.

Little separates these two talented, young, developing teams and the latest installment in this proud rivalry promises to be an exciting encounter. Both teams have plenty on the line, with just one win each since their last meeting in the 2011 Dreamtime game.
 
In addition to the fight for the precious four premiership points, the two teams will wage a social media battle with the losing team having to change their Facebook and Twitter avatar to the winning team’s logo for two days.

Put on your battle armour and join the fight at this Saturday night’s Clash of the Sash.
