The Footypunt View

Well its all set up for the big Sheedy & Hird farewell but will it be the fairytale send off that Bombers fans are anticipating? Richmond have a good recent record against Essendon winning 3 of the past 4 and have played some better footy over the past few weeks. Feel the Tigers may just spoil the party here and a 13.5 point head start at the line looks like an excellent get out option for the weekend.
