There goes 2-3 goals

[WilliamPowell]

Strong side even without KB

Agree Chuck, no KB costs us at least 2 goals

But I'm expecting Yassir to give us goals this year. Reckon Wakefield is the other option for 2-3

Sorry , but Richmond has one KB
And it isn’t Katie Brennan

Surely our 400+ game legend has that nickname covered

[Assange Tiger 😎]

Agreed

Ordinary start. Can't get it out of our D50.

Silly by Wakefield their. She should’ve got it in quickly.

Yep. Wakefield was too slow moving the ball. We had numbers out the back.

I like or tackling pressure early.
