AFLW R10: Richmond vs North Melbourne @ Arden St, Sun. Oct. 30

[one-eyed]

Great chasing and pressure  .

Forced the Norf skill errors and Jess Hosking wins the HTB and 50.

Jess' kick goes to the goalsquare. Ball-up. Free for too high to Wakefield. Goal! 

Rich  1.1-7
North 0.0-0

Ellie handballs in the tackle and gets pinged for HTB .

Fantastic contested intercept at HF by Sheerin and her quick kick gets to Reid 30 out. Goal! 

Rich  2.1-13
North 0.1-1

[Tiger Khosh]

No way that was too far on McKenzie.

Horrible defending to let not 1 but 2 uncontested marks inside 50 especially right on quarter time.

Ellie didn't take more than 15 steps ump before she bounced the ball, ump  . That's the second crap umpire decision against her! 

The turnover gifts North a goal on the siren  .

Quarter time

Richmond     2.1-13
North Melb.   1.1-7

Goals: Wakefield, Reid.

That was a terrible decision by the ump

She bounced the ball maybe the ump didn’t see her bounce it I can’t think of any other reason to give that decision. 


Besides that our pressure and intent has been first class.
Girls are playing finals type footy.

Great transitional play Tiges  . Conti opens the play to Dempsey to Sheerin back to Dempsey to Yassir to McKenzie.

McKenzie finishes it with a Goal! 

Rich  3.1-19
North 1.1-7

Girls are playing great.

Btw there was a non holding the ball call just before the north girl rolled her ankle which would have to be as bad umpiring as it gets.

Excellent half.

A few things we could do better but can’t question their intent 

They are taking them on and currently ahead so more of this.

Sheerin has been amazing as has McKenzie Egan Conti and one of my favourites, Seymour.

Think Reid has gotten better every game she’s played.

Also I forgot to mention Cox has laid some crucial tackles for us as well. 

[one-eyed]

Poor defending. Up and under kicks like that should not be marked by an opposition forward. Plenty of time to spoil it.

19 - 15

Panic footy. Overpossessing by hand and dropping simple marks. Need to re-focus and keep our heads.
