You can clearly tell we're missing almost half our starting 21. Not pretty. A game of trench warfare so far. Lots of contested footy and territory battles.

Why would you not let it bounce out of bounds in the defensive arc?

No need to try and kick it. And it was OOF  :help

That was a terrible mistake by Shevlin.

It's incredibly frustrating and difficult watching the tiger girls and take them seriously when they're playing types as bad as Poppy Kelly and the like.

C'mon tigers. Let's get serious about it or just don't bother.

The kicking and marking skills are sub standard compared to most other teams played this season.
The fundamentals should be normative and consistent but we as a team are way behind the curve in terms of just basic skill execution.

Not good enough.

100% spot on.

Suns snatch victory in Tigers thriller

By Gemma Bastiani
AFL Media
8 October 2023


RICHMOND                 1.0    3.2    4.4   5.5 (35)
GOLD COAST               0.1    2.1    5.3   5.6 (36)

GOALS   
Richmond: Greiser, Jones, Reid, Brennan, Danckert
Gold Coast: McLaughlin, Stanton, Bohanna, Gee, Clayden, 

BEST   
Richmond: Dempsey, Conti, Wicksteed, Shevlin, Sheerin
Gold Coast: Rowbottom, Whitfort, Single, Saad, Dupuy

INJURIES   
Richmond: Nil
Gold Coast: Nil

--------------------------------------------------------

A behind kicked on the siren resulted in a heartbreaking one-point loss for Richmond against Gold Coast on Sunday at Ikon Park.

Not even a late Richmond surge and goal from Sun-turned-Tiger Shannon Danckert could get the home side the premiership points, with the Suns claiming the win 5.6 (36) to 5.5. (35).

With three minutes left on the clock Danckert was the new hometown hero, putting Richmond up by a point at the club's makeshift home, but, as the club song goes, the Suns are the team that never say die and kept pushing until the very last siren.

Charlie Rowbottom starred once again for the Suns, registering 31 disposals, 13 tackles and five clearances, while Claudia Whitfort's impressive season rolled on with 25 disposals and six clearances.

Richmond applied the early scoreboard pressure off the boot of imports Caitlin Greiser and Courtney Jones.

Gold Coast effectively intercepted down back and transitioned up the ground with clean outside ball movement, but once it came to that last kick going inside 50 the Tigers were able to pressure poor, hurried choices, leaving marking targets like Jac Dupuy and Tara Bohanna in the lurch.

Vivian Saad (nine intercepts) was important down back for the Suns, dominating the air while Lauren Ahrens was handed the unenviable task of running with Tigers captain Katie Brennan all day. 

Once the Suns adapted to Richmond's pressure, however, they were able to attack more cleanly and create opportunities at goal off the deck by way of Alana Gee and Georgia Clayden in the third quarter to snatch back the lead. 

Richmond's last quarter push was largely driven by winger Kate Dempsey (23 disposals, 413m gained) and Monique Conti (22 disposals, 401m gained).

Conti, despite winning the 22 touches, was held to just three clearances by Gold Coast midfielder Lucy Single, who won a game-high seven clearances to go with her 16 disposals and six tackles, as the pair largely broke even in terms of impact.

Sweet revenge
After being delisted by Gold Coast at the end of last season, Shannon Danckert went back to the VFLW to prove her value at AFLW level once again. Catching the eye of the Tigers and signed as a train on player, she got the call-up to make her Richmond debut against her former side. Late in the game as the Tigers were down by five points and surging, a long kick into the home team's goal fell agonisingly short, only for none other than Danckert to take a strong contested mark and slot the goal to put her new team in front with mere minutes left on the clock.

Up next
Richmond will return to Ikon Park once more to host the second ever AFLW Dreamtime match against Essendon on Saturday evening.

Kick on the siren gifts Suns win over Richmond

Max Hatzoglou, Ronny Lerner, Ed Bourke and Jason Phelan
HeraldSun
October 8, 2023


A kick on the final siren from Tara Bohanna has given Gold Coast a thrilling one-point win over Richmond to climb into fifth spot on the AFLW ladder.

Bohanna’s brave mark running back with the flight in the final 30 seconds of the game led the 28-year-old to securing the crucial point in the dying embers as her 40m set-shot squeezed through for a behind.

The thrilling finish on Sunday afternoon gave the Suns their fourth win of the season while the Tigers fall into ninth position with a 3-3 record.

The Suns were hit hard by a feisty opposition who had two former players kick goals against them including Shannon Danckert whose banana gave the Tigers a one-point lead with five minutes left.

But a rushed behind followed by Bohanna’s fourth behind of the game led the Suns to the thrilling 5.5 (35) to 5.6 (36) victory.

Bohanna produced a top performance as she impacted the match with six score involvements, 11 possessions and four marks alongside her match-winning moment.

Alana Gee’s first goal in AFLW midway through the third term proved to be the spark the Suns needed in their second ever win in Melbourne.

Key defender-turned forward Georgia Clayden followed Gee’s effort with a spectacular pick up and running goal moments later to give her side a five-point lead in the 12th minute of the third term.

It was also Clayden’s first goal in AFLW as players packed a first-time scorer for the second time in the space of two minutes, sparking plenty of excitement for the Suns.

In the end, it proved to be the final goal the Suns needed as they held on without a goal in the final term to claim the crucial win in a game that saw the margin remain within 13 points all day.

Suns midfielder Charlie Rowbottom was the leading possession getter on the ground with 31 disposals including 22 contested in a game which required plenty of hard-ball wins.

START OF A RIVALRY?

The club’s AFL men’s team have seen Damien Hardwick move to the Suns after more than a decade at Tigerland where he won three premierships as a coach.

Now the women’s sides are seeing the movement of players in droves between clubs.

Maddy Brancatisano is playing for the Suns after three years at the Punt Road Oval while the Tigers have two former Suns in Shannon Danckert and Courtney Jones in their side.

Gold coast coach Cameron Joyce said that he was “under no allusion” that it would be a close game against the Tigers.

“(A feeling) of relief in the end,” he said post-game.

“Our last two games that we have played against Richmond since I have been coaching have been close so we were sort of under no allusion of what game we were going to get.

“And it sort of turned out that way.”

A big moment at the start of the second term saw both sides collide in a scuffle after ex-Sun Courtney Jones booted a goal from a set-shot which came following a free kick for a dangerous tackle.

GREISER’S BAD MISS

Tigers forward Caitlin Greiser missed a golden opportunity to level the score line towards the end of the third term after receiving a holding free kick 15m out from goal.

Unfortunately, her shot at goal on a slight angle saw her make bad contact with the ball as it hit the side of her boot and missed the goals completely to the right.

FAST FOOTY THRILLS

There was something in the coaching addresses at quarter-time as both sides came out on fire after the break producing some of the most entertaining footy the AFLW has ever seen.

After the first term saw a combined score of 1.1, the first eight minutes of the second quarter featured four goals and plenty of heat in the contest.

It started when Tigers forward Jones kicked a set-shot goal against her former side after receiving a free kick for a dangerous tackle.

Her goal just over a minute into the first term extended the Tigers margin to 11 points.

Tensions rose when Jones got in the face of her opposition after scoring the goal as players piled in for the scuffle.

The Suns pounced back with a goal a minute later however through Niamh McLaughlin and then Jamie Stanton scored another for the visitors who claimed back the lead.

But when crafty Tigers forward Stella Reid spectacularly dribbled a ball through from the pocket, the Tigers regained the lead again.

Reid’s stunning goal was the fourth of the term, coming in just seven minutes of play.

Former Tiger player and current Suns forward Maddy Brancatisano said the contest was “pretty hot” after the flurry of majors in an interview during the second quart

They have to get harder at the ball and in marking contests. The intent was generally good just need to lift further at the main contests

I have to question their intent. Some players offer no 2nd efforts, refuse to chase. We actually sat there and questioned our fitness, we just look slow.

And if you were at the ground yesterday like i was and watched the warm up,  you would have known we were in for an average day. Missing targets, dropping marks...
