Not a Blitzer post but captures the essence of what this match about, and what the return of Tippa means. He is the biggest cult hero ever at Essendon, long may he play and kick goals.

Tippa’s return adds to positive Bomber vibes

Sunday’s contest was well and truly decided before he came onto the ground, but the impact Anthony McDonald-Tipungwuti had on this game – and potentially on Essendon’s season ahead - can’t be underestimated. Even as their side was racking up the goals, Bombers fans had one eye on the bench as they waited for the cult hero came on as a sub, and his arrival created an electricity in the MCG that charged Essendon’s players with more than just energy. Brad Scott has talked about how important it is to welcome ‘Walla’ back to the club as part of his desire to fix the damage of the past few years. If Sunday is any indication, the heart and soul of Windy Hill has returned. – Howard Kimber
