Richmond    0.1    4.1     4.3-27
Brisbane      2.1    3.1     4.3-27

Goals: Brennan, Conti, Yassir, Jones.


Apart from a couple of brainfades that third quarter, we did what we had to do against the breeze. Now we've got to use it in the last and run out the game.

[WilliamPowell]

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Stella! In two minds. Yassir open in the goalsquare and she kicks it over her head into the breeze for a point.

27 - 20

Could be costly

We had a couple of chances to score goals and we blew it.

Brainfade by Jones. Why go near the ball over the boundary on the wing and gives away 50.

Point to Brisbane.

27 - 28

[one-eyed]

Brainless footy in our F50. 3 vs 2 and we stuffed it up  .

So did that Brisbane "mark" hit the ground? Cameras as usual poor.

BS 50 and goal to Lions.

Have to say I'm not hating watching this.

Girls are very physical which is nice.

Skills uncontested are good, under pressure not so much. Great kick by Greiser a solid 40+ m

Conti carried off injured 

40 secs to go. Brisbane end.

6 secs. Throw-in Brisbane end.

Well done girls. Fought back in the last 5 mins to win.

Only concern is if Conti is injured (?). Whether it's an ankle (she was limping early in the last) or just bad cramp.
