With two 2026 wins between them, Friday night football kicks off with a clash featuring two of the competition’s real spoon favourites.
Richmond was the last of the two sides to taste victory, snapping a 12-game losing streak with that 11-point win over West Coast in Perth.
The young Tigers have threatened in the two games since then, going toe to toe with both Adelaide and St Kilda, but ultimately falling to 37- and 36-point losses.
You have to travel back to Round 5 to locate Essendon’s only win of the year, when the Bombers completed an impressive 45-point victory over the high-flying Dees.
