AFLW R2: Richmond vs Gold Coast @ Metricon, Sat. Feb 15

[WilliamPowell]

We look slow and unfit. Fredericks is bloody embarrassing for a professional athlete

I get your point, don't agree in part because...

They are not professional athletes. Everyone of them have to do something outside of footy. They are not even semi professional.

Competition doesn't allow any of them to be professional

Fantastic to see the standard of umpiring in this comp remains sub standard

Even with AFL umps in there "helping the comp" the non AFL umpires are terrible

In the first how that was a free against Condi was paid beggars belief

Gold Coke in the protected zone every mark or free kick for us but the umpires are 😎

The Suns' ability to create the overlap through the midfield is the difference between these two teams right now. Also, Kate Surman.

We're not defensively protecting the corridor.

It was Conti who altered the momentum in the second half of that 2nd qtr. Others need to lift and we need a better forward structure. The ball spent most of the time going inside our F50 yet we only scored two points.

I’m not a semi professional athlete and don’t get paid thousands to play sport but I would beat her by 50m over 100m and about 5mins over a km

Brennan going about as well as Dusty at a Japanese restaurant

Move her to defence to get into the game. Our coach is not that bright if he can’t see that

Free for in the back to Brennan on 50. Goes to the top of the square. Loose ball. Stoppages. Suns clear.

Brennan smother. Goes to the hot spot. Suns with the numbers and clear. Molan tackle wins the free just outside 50. Goes over Frederick's head and marked by a Suns defender and clears.

Campbell intercepts. Off to Molan who kicks to HF. Ball-up.

Suns on the counter 2-v-1 up forward but Monahan does well and we dodge a bullet.


Sums up the game. We get it continually forward but can't find a target to score and then the Suns get a chance on the counter and look more threatening to kick a goal when they go forward. Reminds me of our men's games against North over the years.

[one-eyed]

Goal to the Suns.

16 - 33

You can't score to win if you move the ball slow, wide and high forward. Just allows Suns to get numbers back and then hit on the counter.

[Knighter]

It’s embarrassing to watch this. The coach and game plan both need to be sacked.

[Knighter]

No goals in the last 2 qtrs against the team everyone picked to finish bottom. Hunter is clueless

[one-eyed]

From the centre clearance, Stahl marks. Boot comes off which holds her up. She still finds Brancatisano. Hurries the set shot and sprays it badly on the siren.

3/4 time

Richmond    2.2    2.4    2.5-17
Gold Coast   2.2    4.3    5.3-33

Goals: Bernardi, Stahl.

From a competition-growth point of view, this is looking to be an excellent result for Gold Coast and footy in Queensland. For Richmond, quite a few alarm bells. Happy to be proven wrong, but could be a long season. #AFLWSunsTigers

the umpiring has been horrendous. GC given an arm chair ride today.

Gold Coast look unreal with run and carry from back half..

Rich out coached and probably lost game at selection table WAY too tall and not mobile enough.

Sabrina a worry too, If ball gets to ground they are really playing one short.

On a positive Conti and Monahan are stars

Funny there were equal number of people to picked us to finish last 

[WilliamPowell]

Really poor 3rd qtr
