Ricky Petterd's late super goal has given Richmond an eight-point win in their AFL pre-season match against Essendon.
The former Melbourne forward kicked his nine-point goal with less than three minutes left and the Tigers won 2.8.20 (86) to 1.10.9 (78) at Wangaratta.
Richmond attacked repeatedly in the final term, but had kicked a wayward 1.8 before Petterd put them in front for the first time in the second half of the round-two pre-season Cup game.
| 0.2.2 (14) | Q1 | 1.2.4 (25) |
| 1.5.4 (43) | Q2 | 1.4.9 (42) |
| 1.8.7 (64) | Q3 | 1.7.11 (62) |
| 1.10.9 (78) | Q4 | 2.8.20 (86) |
| Patrick Ryder 3 | Luke McGuane 2 |
| Michael Hurley 2 | Shane Tuck 2 |
| Brent Stanton 2 | Matthew Arnot 1 |
| Stewart Crameri 1 | Robin Nahas 1 |
| David Hille 1 | Ricky Petterd 1 |
| Leroy Jetta 1 | Jack Riewoldt 1 |
| Nick Kommer 1 | Matt White 1 |
The game attracted a sold-out crowd of about 11,000, a year after Essendon had to forfeit a pre-season game at the same venue against St Kilda.
Richmond recruited Petterd through the rookie draft and he had been solid in defence before going forward for his decisive long-range bomb.
Midfielder Shaun Grigg was best for the Tigers, while Essendon defender Jake Carlisle was outstanding on Richmond key forward Jack Riewoldt.
Paddy Ryder kicked three goals for the Bombers, who led by 14 points in the last term before Richmond stormed home.
Richmond's Matt White opened the scoring with a nine-point goal less than a minute after the first bounce.
Essendon hit back with a goal to newcomer Nick Kommer, but the Tigers capitalised on some strong tackling pressure to take an 11-point lead at the first break.
After a goal to Bombers forward Stewart Crameri early in the second, Shane Tuck and Jack Riewoldt kicked accurately to give the Tigers a 20-point lead late in the first half.
But Essendon suddenly started winning the ball out of the middle.
They dramatically hit back with goals to Michael Hurley and Brent Stanton and a nine-pointer to Leroy Jetta, all within three minutes, for an improbable one-point lead at the main break.
Ryder and Richmond key forward Luke McGuane kicked two goals apiece in the third term.
The Bombers led by 13 points midway through the term, but McGuane and Shane Tuck goalled late in the term to reduce the margin to two points at the last change.
Essendon were nearly at full strength, while the Tigers were missing several big names including captain Trent Cotchin, Brett Deledio, Ivan Maric and Port Adelaide recruit Troy Chaplin.
