Two clubs. Same spot in their rebuild.
Only one can call a spade a spade.
Richmond and Essendon are living the same reality and it showed in the worst game of the year - it's just different packaging.

You'll be (?)happy to know that I survived, and the TV is intact.
Clearly one of the worst games of AFL you'd be unlucky enough to witness...
...and yet, as they, an ugly win is a WIN. 🐯
Glad we did it for Floss. 🐯
Some clearly are just making up the numbers. ☹️

10.23 (83) the combined score for 2025 R18 RICH v ESS
Ignoring 2020 short quarters, the lowest scoring V/AFL game at the MCG since 1989 R11
#AFLTigersDons #AFL
#AFLTigersDons Result: Richmond 46 defeated Essendon 37
(Yes, that was the final score)
Comic Book Guy cartoon character from The Simpsons with yellow skin, wearing a blue shirt and a red hair tie, is sipping a drink from a pink cup through a red straw while using a computer keyboard. The character has an unimpressed expression, and the caption at the bottom reads, "WORST GAME EVER."
People who watched this game of footy just lost a few hours of their lives. It’s gone. #AFLTigersDons #AFL
Imagine sacking Rutten to get Brad Scott out of all people #AFLTigersDons
Might be the ugliest win I've ever seen, but I'll take it!
Great to get the win in Vlasuin's 200 as well. #GoTiges #afltigersdons #AFL
The writing was on the wall very early on
What another waste of a season
Back to do it all again in 2026

The winner of this game should be docked 4 points #AFLTigersDons
Umpires far too harsh when it comes to (not) paying marks these days. I'm not asking them to pay 'Gary Ablett over Gary Pert in 1994' ones, but if they get a good grip and then have it knocked out, pay the bloody mark!
#AFLTigersDons
#AFLTigersDons We have a new winner for the worst game of AFL footy in the 2020s...this Tigers-Bombers game is absolutely awful.
7.19 in three quarters of footy
3.4 3.5 3.9 (27)
3.0 3.6 4.10 (34)
What. The. Actual???!

Prestia with the Incredible Hulk pose when that free kick was paid against him. I half-expected him to turn green.

I've heard a rumour that he might even have two.

I can guess who, i reckon...
