AFLW R5: Richmond vs Fremantle @ Princes Park, Fri. Sept. 29

[one-eyed]

Quarter time

Richmond   0.1-1
Fremantle   3.0-18


Well, that was crap! It seems we got the first couple of In50s and thought this is going to be easy and then mentally and physically switched off. Not sure what's the obsession today with handballing either. We're going backwards and sideways with the ball while Freo is kicking long and going direct and it's paying off for them.

No surprise we're losing all the groundball and contested stats.

[one-eyed]

Freo should be 5 goals up. Missed two sitters running into goal. We're flat-flooted and a rabble today.

1 - 20

If there's a schoolkid mistake to be made, we're making it .

1 - 26

[one-eyed]

Conti hands to Egan but misses.

2 - 27

[Knighter]

stuffen woeful.  Too many players with no idea.  Forward line is packed and no one is in our backline.  stuffen basics missing

[one-eyed]

That was a mark to Brennan.

Egan to Lynch in the pocket. Goal with 30 secs left in the qtr  .

Rich   1.2-8
Freo  4.5-29

Half-time

Richmond     0.1     1.2-8
Fremantle     3.0    4.5-29

Goal: Lynch.


Very lucky to still be this 'close'. Freo missed about 4 sitters that quarter which have kept us in it. Should be 7 goals down and game over. That's how woeful we've been. It's at ground level we're getting smashed. Beaten up in the contest as Freo players are on the move while we are flat-footed and caught 5-10m behind. When we do get it forward there's no one front and square just like men's team  .

Commentators are spot on. We turned up thinking it's only Freo who are coming off a 5-day break and we're getting owned for not showing the opposition respect.

[one-eyed]

Dempsey passes to Greiser 25 out on a 45 degree angle. Misses.

9 - 29

[one-eyed]

Goal to Freo. Again, from us losing a stoppage/contest because Freo players are on the move while we're flat-footed.

9 - 35

[one-eyed]

Should have been a dumping tackle free to us.

From the ball-up it's a free to Hosking. Gives off to Brennan who goals  .

Rich  2.3-15
Freo  5.6-36

[one-eyed]

Centre clearance. Free to Brennan at CHF. Yassir takes the advantage. Gets out to Wicksteed. Jones gathers and snaps over her shoulder for a goal  .

Rich  3.3-21
Freo  5.6-36
