-
The start has been delayed for at least 30 mins due to a snake in the grass. They are waiting for the snake-catcher.
Edit: It's a red bellied black snake for those interested.

-
The snake has been dealt with. So, the game is about to start.
It's 34 degrees up there by the way. So, both sides will have to cope with the heat.

Both sides struggling with the swirly breeze.

Conti finds Wicksteed in the pocket 30 out. Kick on target but it's touched on the line.
2 - 0

Miller to 30 out and Conti is held. Kick off to the right with the breeze and doesn't make the distance. Giants clear.

Quarter time
Richmond 0.2-2
GWS 0.0-0
Scrappy is the word with this breeze.

Terrible conditions
34 degrees and the winds a shocker
Looks like GWS had the breeze that qtr as most of the long kicks to end we were kicking to held up a fair bit
And good to see the umps maintaining their incredibly high standards of ineptitude

Is the -no doubt huge- crowd chanting the score line like in soccer? :shh

Eastman came off second best from being near that tackle. Off with a bloody nose.

Not sure what Sarah Hosking was thinking then. Greiser soccer is on target but rushed by the GWS defender.

Mids set up is woeful. Like the men's team. Leave the defensive side wide open.

Too many fat, lazy and stupid players. Umpiring is stuffen hopeless

Umpires can sux a dick. Dumb stuffs
-
Sarah Darcy us a liability these days
-
Well done Yassir with that tackle. But Jones then coughs it up. Our bottom end players are letting us down. Too many passengers.
25 - 28
-
Pathetic, just pathetic
3 goals up, we play like we think we've won and now 2 goals down
Just embarrassing
-
Classic example of what is wrong just then. Our long kick to a tall at HF. Ball spoiled back and the opposition are front and square to clear with not a Tiger in sight.
GWS run it down for another goal.
25 - 34

Throw-in F50. Conti wins the HTB free. A bit lucky for mine but we'll take it. Goal! :gotigers

Lucky to be back in front
Any chance of Mon Conti getting a free kick for constantly being held off the ball
-
Brennan good contested mark on 50. Plays on but misses on the run.
38 - 34

Throw-in 40 out and Greiser gets the free in the ruck. Misses just to the right as well. Need to aim for the left post.

Disgusting umpiring

Why not rush it through 2m out? :facepalm.

Well done Jonesy. Kept the ball in front and then broke the tackle and kicked the goal :gotigers

Basics! Jones you don't play on after the mark not aware of who is around you :scream.
-
:banghead :banghead
Too close the girl on the mark
Bad miss by KB, unacceptable for a captain
-
Brennan free 40 out. But gets too close to the woman on the mark and tugs it left. Basics again!
46 - 34
-
Basics! Jones you don't play on after the mark not aware of who is around you :scream.
Yassir to blame too shpild have told her to hold, she was hot
-
Is the game clock broken? Counting up and not stepping at dead balls.
-
Conceded the behind make the margin 13 points :scream
-
Where's our small forwards? No way should Greiser been the first one back on the scene (good smother to get the throw-in).
-
Dempsey to the hot spot. D'Arcy snaps the goal! :gotigers
Rich 7.10-52
GWS 5.4-34
-
Sarah Darcy has had a shocker
But has done a couple of good things in the last 5 mins including that goal
-
Sarah Hosking gets the free for being dumped then 50 for a GWS backchat to the ump. Kick from 50 and Yassir marks 20 out. Misses to the right (didn't account for the breeze).
53 - 34
-
Goal kicking practice please
At least half a dozen times today with set shots way too close to woman on the mark
-
Siren!
Won by 19 pts! :gotigers

Final Score
Richmond 0.2 2.5 5.7 7.11-53
GWS 0.0 1.2 5.4 5.4-34
Goals: Yassir 2, Brennan, Greiser, Conti, Jones, D'Arcy.
We were clearly the better team (GWS are winless), but not doing the basics kept them in the game and will cost us against the top sides. We kept GWS in the game via our schoolkid errors (poor defensive positioning at contests, poor F50 play and poor goalkicking). You need to do the basics well and regularly.
Miller had a top game at full back. Saved our bacon numerous times with her judgement and clean contested marking.
Seymour dominated the hitouts. We should have made more of it throughout the match although we did win the clearances in the end.
Conti was Conti and again our leading disposal winner.
Dempsey is underrated as WP said. Had a really good game.
Brennan in general play was excellent but her goalkicking stopped her from ripping the game apart (1 goal 3 behinds).
Sheerin was one of our best with her rebounding long kicks in the first half especially.
Yassir better in the second half with two important goals (should have been three).
-
Quite a bit of irony in who the last 2 goal kickers were.
Jones to give us a 12 point lead then D'Arcy to seal it ;D

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
RICHMOND has overcome a second-half surge from Greater Western Sydney to secure a 19-point triumph in stifling conditions at Blacktown International Sportspark.
The Tigers were in control of the contest until Alyce Parker sparked a Giants revival that proved to be short lived as the visitors ran away in the final term for a 7.11 (53) to 5.4 (34) victory on Saturday.
The win takes the Tigers to a 2-1 record while putting the Giants' season on a knife's edge following three consecutive losses and with concerns over a knee injury to Parker.
The onballer had to be helped from the field in the dying stages after all but keeping the Giants in the game with another outstanding display.
The Tigers' own gun midfielder Monique Conti was again at her blistering best while gathering a game-high 22 disposals and a goal and leading the way especially when the game was on the line.
Eilish Sheerin (17 disposals, 436 metres gained) and Kate Dempsey (18, 437) were also critical for the Tigers with their polished ball movement, as ruck Gabby Seymour (12 touches, 26 hitouts) made her presence felt around the stoppages.
Zippy forward Emelia Yassir booted two majors for the Tigers before Courtney Jones and Sarah D'Arcy kicked the goals in the final term that clinched a hard-fought victory.
Parker slotted two quick goals that helped the Giants snatch the lead in the third term after trailing by as much as 16 points and finished with 21 disposals before being sidelined.
Nicola Barr (18 disposals) was again influential for the Giants in a new midfield role, while Chloe Dalton (12 disposals, one goal, 391 metres gained) added run and carry as the game opened up.
The Giants' boom recruit Isabel Huntington also impressed in her club debut after overcoming a third ACL injury to provide a forward threat and most importantly run out a first game in 616 days unscathed.
The former No.1 draft pick only gathered five disposals but was often crucial to ensuring the ball came to ground especially as GWS surged in the second half before Huntington and her side ran out of steam.
Hiss-tory in Blacktown as snake delays start
It felt like summer had come early with temperatures in excess of 30 degrees under a blazing sun but one spectator was particularly keen to make the most of the heat. The Giants players were completing their warm-up moments before the scheduled start time when they spotted a snake on the field and understandably raced back to the changerooms. A snake catcher had to be called in to move on the red-bellied black snake but not before the opening bounce was delayed by 30 minutes in a first for the AFLW, but perhaps less of a surprise for those from around Blacktown.
Tigers boost their forward firepower
Richmond's new-look forward line has run hot and cold since retired spearhead Courtney Wakefield was among several departures at the end of last season, but it found a way to fire and make an impact against GWS. Katie Brennan and former St Kilda forward Caitlin Greiser made the most of their chances, while 19-year-old Emelia Yassir booted two goals and debutant Charli Wicksteed showed enough to suggest she could be another useful addition to the attack.
Pease passes first test in rousing return
Former No.1 draft pick Isabel Huntington was not the only GWS player returning from a torn ACL as young gun Emily Pease also played her first match since recovering from the dreaded injury. The midfielder took some time to warm into the contest but soon made her mark to remind the Giants of the pivotal role she can play in moving the ball from defence to attack.
Up next
GWS will continue chasing a first victory of the season when it hosts Adelaide at Manuka Oval on Saturday from 11.05am AEST. Richmond can target back-to-back wins when it faces Carlton at Ikon Park on Saturday at 1.05pm AEST.

Too many fat, lazy and stupid players. Umpiring is stuffen hopeless
Can’t say fat.
-
Agree with what the others have said.
Dempsey is a very good player.
Darcy is not up to it any more.
Greiser is one of the worst FFs I have seen, continually misjudges the flight of the ball and doesn’t get any where near the contests, when she is in the contest has very bad hands. I would drop Greiser and have Poppy Kelly playing FF, at least she has better hands.
-
Too many fat, lazy and stupid players. Umpiring is stuffen hopeless
Can’t say fat.
I’m going to go with “festively plump” from now on

Good coaching game by Fergie.
Moved Brennan behind the ball when GWS were pressing in the third.
Also tag teamed Egan and MacDonald on Parker and on the bench in the second half.
Thought our girls handled the heat worse and with three unfit players in the side as well. Fair win all in all.

Richmond has found balance in its game
Last season the Tigers caught teams out by playing a game driven by chaos and one-percenters in the clinches. This season, they have found a balance between getting games on their own terms by maintaining clean possession, and reverting to a chaos game when necessary. This was clear against the Giants on Saturday afternoon where, despite registering 19 fewer marks and 20 fewer uncontested possessions than their opponents, the Tigers were able to persist through for the win, kicking 53 points in the process.

Our midfield is poohouse. We have Conti and then a bunch of hacks. Egan has been poor, Hosking is average and McDonald is not up to it. We badly need another class mid. stuffen Sheehan picked another dud in Grieser instead of a mid, HTF she still has a job is beyond me.
-
Mckenzie is injured but she’s a classy mid?
-
Mckenzie is injured but she’s a classy mid?
She is injured more than she is fit. Looks too heavy also. Needs to drop 10kgs so not so injury prone and can cover some ground
-
She is still only young, but hasn't hit her potential yet.
Speed is an issue.
