While the Tigers will relish the big win, they won't be resting on their laurels as they turn their attention to next Saturday's game against Gold Coast.

"(Gold Coast is) starting to really build into some good form," Ferguson said.

"We'll take belief from today, but pretty quickly on Monday, we'll get back to work.

"We'll walk through the doors ready to learn and grow again."

Vice-captain Sarah Hosking is "questionable" for the clash, but skipper Katie Brennan, who missed the first three rounds due to a foot injury, is set to return as part of her management plan for the season.

"We've just got to make sure that we're looking after (Brennan's) best interest in longevity in footy and life, so that there's zero risk for her," Ferguson said.

"But the plan will be that she'll play. She's tracking really well."

A very lazy post.

As richmond members can we enter Lunt Road no question or do we need to buy an AFLW membership or general admin ticket to enter?

If you are an AFLW member you get in for free but need to redeem a ticket before hand.

AFL membership doesn't get you in

If you are not a member then it's $10 for adults, kids free and again you have to get a ticket before the game. No ticket sales at the ground

All digital ticketing for the AFLW

Or if you are cheap skate you can stand out on the Punt Road footpath and watch for free ;D

8 point game for the girls this week. Win and they’ll be a game clear in the 8.

Goals, disposals, clearances, more: Stats leaders at halfway mark

Goals

10 - Kate Shierlaw (St Kilda)
9 - Jesse Wardlaw (Brisbane)
8 - Ash Woodland (Adelaide)
7 - Greta Bodey (Brisbane)
7 - Courtney Wakefield (Richmond)

Courtney Wakefield is on track to best her personal best of 10 goals in a season.

Average intercepts

11.0 - Eilish Sheerin (Richmond)
8.4 - Indy Tahau (Port Adelaide)
8.2 - Meg McDonald (Geelong)
8 - Mua Laloifi (Carlton)
7.6 - Libby Birch (Melbourne)

In her first season, Eilish Sheerin has starred in defence, racking up unprecedented intercept numbers. On debut, Sheering registered 17 intercepts, the most of any player in their first game and the equal-second most in the competition's history. It wasn't simply a one-off effort, either, as she has registered double-digit intercepts in three of her opening five games.

Teams in defence

Average points against


15.2 - Geelong
16.2 - Collingwood
19.6 - Richmond

Richmond has been the surprise packet. The additions of Eilish Sheerin and Libby Graham alongside the ever-improving Bec Miller, Beth Lynch and Maddie Shevlin has been masterful.

Richmond v Gold Coast Preview

Gemma Bastiani
womens.afl
30 September 2022


One of the matches of the round, in the coveted Saturday evening slot, it is a battle of the eighth and ninth placed sides. Both coming off good wins last week, Richmond against premiership favourites Brisbane and Gold Coast against a late surge from Port Adelaide, it will really be a fight of will in the contest. What the Tigers did so well last week was remove Brisbane's opportunity to put together meaningful passages of play, but the Suns have won games with chaotic footy this season so will be up for the challenge. Players like Jac Dupuy and Courtney Jones aren't looking to kick pretty, methodical goals, they will just get the ball on their boot and that means they are dangerous every time the Suns send the ball forward.

Richmond's defensive unit has been its starring line this season, with recruit Eilish Sheerin leading the competition for intercepts it may seem like it is thanks only to her inclusion, but it is in fact the way the group has worked together that makes it so dangerous. They have a determination that means they are just never out of a contest. Maddie Shevlin is in career-best form, Gabby Seymour's work rate from the ruck into the backline to support, Libby Graham's athleticism and Beth Lynch's attack on the ball - and ball carrier - has combined to create something special. This game will boil down to the small opportunities taken. If the Suns can continue to take those chance kicks on goal once in attack and maintain a positive perspective, they will be in with a chance. If the Tigers' backline is as relentless as last week, they will be exceptionally difficult to beat.

Tip: This one will go down to the wire. Richmond by two points.

Richmond vs Gold Coast Preview

Peter Williams

30 September 2022


FORM
Richmond comes into a home clash against Gold Coast with all the stars seemingly aligning. Returning to the scene of the upset of the season the Tigers produced last week against Brisbane, Richmond will hope to bring the same intensity and form against a Suns outfit that is yet to win outside of Queensland in Season 7. Overall, Richmond has put its two heartbreaking losses in the opening fortnight behind it to notch up three straight wins and move into the top eight. Gold Coast sit percentage – albeit 48.6 per cent – behind the Tigers in ninth, having won the three games in Queensland against a non-Queensland side.

WHERE IT’S WON
Gold Coast is very good at winning the ball at the stoppages and controlling play from the contest. The Suns are plus-77 in disposals, plus-18 in clearances and plus-51 in contested possessions, as well as plus-10 from centre clearances. That is a huge concern for a Tigers outfit who, despite having a star-studded midfield, have struggled in those areas. The yellow and black are minus-35 in disposals, minutes-18 in clearances, and only plus-six in contested possessions. Richmond is capable of hitting targets inside 50 though, with its plus-15 marks ranked number one in the competition, while plus-13 tackles is also impressive.

TEAM NEWS
Gold Coast will be minus injury replacement player Gabrielle Biedenweg-Webster following a knee injury sustained in the win over Port Adelaide. There was better news for defender Daisy D’Arcy who had a minor ankle sprain early in the Power game, but played out the match and is predicted to be available for selection. Northern Territory forward Ashanti Bush was removed from the injury list and is available for selection. The Tigers have kept tight-lipped about their selection, with captain Katie Brennan a possible to return from a foot injury, while Rebecca Miller (hamstring) could be back, and Stephanie Williams – who hurt her knee last match – is also undergoing a test.

KEY PLAYERS
The Tigers keys will once again be their midfielders, lead by Monique Conti, with Jess Hosking and Ellie McKenzie crucial in winning that contested ball battle. The defence held up really well against the Lions in Miller’s absence, with Maddie Shevlin and Eilish Sheerin enjoying great seasons. Gold Coast have potential when going forward, with Courtney Jones always a threat, and the likes of Alison Drennan, Charlie Rowbottom and Claudia Whitfort cracking in at the coalface.

PREDICTION
The response from Richmond will be the most interesting, because the Tigers cannot afford to undo their fantastic win over the Lions with a loss to the Suns at the Tigers’ home deck. Richmond should win given Gold Coast’s struggles away from home, but the Suns’ strengths do align with the Tigers’ issues so it would not be a complete shock to see Gold Coast cause an upset.

Ellie has had her lower calf strapped all season. And the last 2 weeks her knee's been taped

Need to bring the same intensity and team effort as last week. Ellie is a big loss so we need others to help out Conti in the middle.
