We will see where we are really at this week.

We will see where we are really at this week.

If it was a team of males I wound say “prepare to cop it no lube”

As these are females, I’m sure there would be a PC uproar

So I’ll roll with , “prepare for the girls to get beaten rather comfortably by a far superior side”

Not sure how it's an injury update when it's the same as last week .

Poppy Kelly was in a moon boot last Sunday at Port Melbourne

Still staggers me she played the week before when clearly her injury was more severe than they thought

So I'd be surprised if she plays before the final 2-3 rounds

Richmond v Brisbane Preview

Gemma Bastiani

22 September 2022

Despite Brisbane sitting atop the ladder undefeated, and Richmond eighth with an even ledger, these two sides play similar styles of footy, the Lions are just doing it more efficiently. Richmond is third in the competition this season for inside 50s with 31.9 per game – the 14th most in AFLW history – but is simply not generating enough score from those entries. Alternatively, Brisbane is leading with 37.8 inside 50s per game and also going at the highest goal efficiency the competition has ever seen, kicking a goal from 25.8 per cent of its entries. 

Richmond's defence has stood strong this season, particularly last week against Essendon's attack without leader Bec Miller, but the Lions are a whole new type of challenge. This season the Tigers are the worst clearance side in the competition, which makes them particularly vulnerable to Brisbane's quick forward entries which will really expose their backline in the one-on-one.

Tip: Richmond will work hard but the Lions are just too good. Brisbane by 20 points.

Another soft tissue injury to a key player! It's affecting both our men's and now our women's team. Can't blame age either as both Bec Miller and Sarah Hosking are in their prime. They aren't in their 30s. Whatever we are doing in terms of conditioning down at Punt Rd, it clearly needs to change.

Katie being "rested" after just one game back doesn't sound good either  .

Nothing to do with our game but the Swans & Hawks were playing at Punt Rd today.

Katie is week by week with those stress fractures in her foot

[Knighter]

Molan is back we must be tanking already

Two soft frees in a row gift Brisbane their first.

The Lions have the breeze according to commentators.

Quarter time

Richmond   1.0-6
Brisbane     1.3-9

Goal: Wakefield


Just hung on in the last 5 minutes. Take the 3-point deficit into the breeze.

The ump in the Brisbane forward half sure loved giving them frees .
