Game day scenes - Richmond VFL QF against Essenden at Punt Road oval 2019

Richmond V Essendon at Punt Road in the VFL Qualifying Final played on Saturday 31 August 2019.

Richmond VFL has staged a stunning comeback, recording a two-point qualifying final win over Essendon at the Swinburne Centre on Saturday afternoon.

The Tigers, 40-points down at three-quarter time, booted seven-goals-to-one in a tension-packed final term.

Toby Nankervis was the hero, his match-winning set-shot swinging home on the breeze, leaving seconds on the clock as the ball left his boot.

Richmond was jumped by the Bombers in the opening half, as the visitors stunned the ladder-leaders with four goals in the first 14 minutes of the first quarter.

The Bombers baited and frustrated the Tigers for the first three quarters, before the home side steeled itself and poured all its energy into getting back into the contest.

Nankervis was a rucking goliath in the last quarter, controlling the centre square and stoppages, surging the ball forward at will.

The rucking monolith was aptly supported by premiership teammates in Dan Butler, Jacob Townsend and Kamdyn McIntosh, who all stood up in big moments.

Butler was dynamic and elusive inside-50, jagging three goals in the frantic final term.

Townsend was flint-hard around the ball and McIntosh, ice cool in the back-half.
