Richmond have thumped Essendon by 66 points, in Ben Rutten's likely last AFL game as Bombers coach, but will sweat on a groin injury to superstar forward Tom Lynch ahead of the finals.
Lynch was substituted for Jason Castagna in the final quarter, after booting five second-half goals, to sour the Tigers' otherwise impressive 21.15 (141) to 11.9 (75) victory at the MCG.
