Debutant fires in Essendon's scrappy Dreamtime win
Essendon have secured an unconvincing 23-point Dreamtime win over Richmond at the MCG on a night when their injury crisis deepened. After being smashed by 91 points last week, the Bombers responded by handling the rebuilding Tigers, who were without premiership stars Toby Nankervis, Tom Lynch, and Noah Balta. In a match filled with turnovers and skill errors, Essendon had enough experience to run out winners 11.15 (81) to 8.10 (58), with 18-year-old debutant Angus Clarke kicking a match-high three goals. The Bombers kept the Tigers goalless in the last quarter until Hugo Ralphsmith put through a major as the siren sounded. Versatile Bomber Nic Martin was awarded the Yiooken Medal for his two-goal, 35-possession match. But the Bombers are counting the cost of losing more key players after forward Kyle Langford (quad) and key defender Zach Reid (hamstring) failed to finish the match. Langford, a two-time leading goal-kicker at Essendon, has already missed six games this season due to a knee injury. The 28-year-old went off in the second quarter, while Reid hobbled into the rooms late in the third term. After enduring an injury-plagued start to his career since being drafted in 2020, Reid has emerged as a key pillar for Essendon in defence this season. The Bombers have already had four season-ending injuries this season, including ruckmen Sam Draper and Nick Bryan, while important talls Jordan Ridley and Harry Jones are sidelined long-term. But Essendon were thrilled with the debut of Clarke, who slotted his three goals from a wing. The hard-running teenager could have finished with four majors but slammed another shot into the post in the final quarter. Clarke kicked two of Essendon's first three goals to inject some much-needed spark into a stadium that was lacking energy, despite there being 76,051 fans in the crowd. Richmond didn't escape unscathed, either, after No.1 draft pick Sam Lalor was taken off in the last quarter with a hamstring injury. Playing as a deep forward, Lalor kicked two goals from both of his possessions in the game. Midfielder Thomson Dow had already been subbed out for the Tigers after damaging his knee in the third term. Essendon, momentarily, find themselves in the top-eight after moving to a 6-4 record with their sixth win from their past eight matches. Richmond slump to 3-8, but are better placed than many thought they would be pre-season amid dire predictions of a winless year.

Dustin Martin 'will make a big-name return' to footy after his surprise appearance at Richmond match
AFL legend Dustin Martin is reportedly expected to make a shock return to footy following his recent appearance in the MCG sheds before a Richmond game. Martin, 33, retired last season following a career few can match. The midfielder's CV makes for staggering reading - premierships in 2017, 2019 and 2020 with the Tigers, three Norm Smith medals from the Grand Finals as well as a Brownlow Medal in 2017. 'Dusty' has kept a low profile since hanging up his boots - but footy identities Kane Cornes and Caroline Wilson are both convinced that will soon change. 'Don't rule out a Dustin Martin footy return sometime in the future,' Cornes said to Wilson on Channel 7's The Agenda Setters. 'That is a very accurate statement by you, Kane,' Wilson responded. Footy identities Caroline Wilson and Kane Cornes (both pictured, from left) are both convinced Martin will return to the AFL in some capacity this season 'Dustin Martin was in the Richmond rooms before the (recent) North (Melbourne) game. He looked pretty good, saying 'g'day' to his old teammates. 'I'm not saying AFL return, but there will be a big-name return later this year.' Cornes added: 'Watch this space.' While he was unable to inspire the Tigers to a win against the Kangaroos, the sight of Martin in the sheds warmed the hearts of many footy fans. The famously reclusive Martin shook hands with former teammate Tom Lynch - and last month he was spotted in Western Australia, stepping out for lunch with fellow Richmond great Jack Riewoldt. Martin made his AFL debut for the Tigers in 2010 - and retired a generational talent. In 302 appearances, Martin booted 338 goals. He will go down in history as possibly Richmond's greatest ever player, alongside the likes of Kevin Bartlett, Jack Dyer and Francis Bourke. Martin was linked to the Gold Coast Suns at the twilight of his career to play under former coach Damien Hardwick, but the move never materialised.

Head knock KO's Tigers star for Dreamtime clash
Tom Lynch has been sidelined due to concussion in a major blow for Richmond ahead of their AFL Dreamtime At The 'G clash with Essendon. The key forward showed symptoms after a heavy knock late in Sunday's loss to North Melbourne. The Tigers announced on Monday afternoon he would not play in Friday night's showcase Sir Doug Nicholls Indigenous round match against the Bombers. "While he was initially feeling and looking OK and able to be cleared by our medical staff, in the hours after the game he began to develop symptoms," Richmond football boss Tim Livingstone said. "As a result of this, our doctor has placed Tom in the concussion protocols, and he will now be monitored closely through the coming days and required period of time." Also on Monday, Port Adelaide confirmed Jason Horne-Francis and Lachie Jones were out of action with hamstring injuries. Jones could be sidelined for two months. They were among five players forced out of Sunday's loss to Geelong, with Cats captain Patrick Dangerfield also damaging a hamstring in the injury chaos. Dangerfield is in severe doubt for Thursday night's massive home game against the Western Bulldogs, while teammate Jack Bowes also is nursing a hamstring injury from the match. The Power said Horne-Francis could return after their round-12 bye. Port halfback Josh Sinn also hurt his left hip at Adelaide Oval and is in doubt for Saturday's game against Fremantle in Perth.
