AFLW R9: Richmond vs Geelong @ Princes Park, Sat. Oct. 28

[Chuck17]

Fergie needs to go as well as all our slow players which is half our side

[one-eyed]

Blowing out now.

3 - 41


We got a new coach for the men's team. May be looking for a new one for the women's team as well after tonight. We're a rabble  .

Sheerin ran from HB to HF via a 1-2. Kicks towards Brennan who wins the HTB free 30 out. Poster.

4 - 48


Nothing going right tonight  .

[one-eyed]

Finally kicked our first goal lol.

Go coast to coast and Brennan puts it through  .

Rich   1.4.10
Geel  6.13-49

[one-eyed]

Gameplan:

Grab ball then turn and run back around in a circle into traffic because there's no structure forward of the ball, then kick quickly under pressure and turn it over.

Final Score

Richmond    0.2    0.3     0.3     1.5-11
Geelong      2.2    2.8    2.11    6.13-49

Goal: Brennan


A totally disorganised rabble tonight. That's again on the coach.

Anyway, season over. Next week is a dead rubber for us.

Didn’t kick a goal till the last

Sums up AFLW

[WilliamPowell]

So glad I'm away this weekend and didn't get to that game

Pathetic

Wasted season

[Chuck17]

Like apartheid Albo Fergie must go

[Knighter]

The game plan is hopeless. Run wide turn it over and then let the opponent run it through the centre uncontested.  Pathetic and embarrassing for the whole club

[Damo]

Wasted season

You used the same saying in possibly 100 posts through the AFL season, but surely the care factor can’t be close to similar in this rubbish???

No, it only sums us up and our dud gameplan (if you can call it one), our lack of fitness, and our lack of any depth. Geelong played well aside from their goalkicking and should have won by 10+ goals. We're gone so far backwards this year it's not funny. That's on the coach and fitness staff.

Give both our men's and women's seasons have been stuffed up by a lack of fitness and a long injury list, the Club needs a total review of our fitness, strength and conditioning department. Plus, don't try and treat us supporters as mugs by listing players as "2-4 weeks" away week after week when they are gone for the season. They did it with Gibcus, Lynch and now Ellie McKenzie. Not good enough! 

A totally wasted season as WP said. Katie Brennan is 31. She isn't going to be around forever and we're wasting her last few best years because standards at the Club have dramatically dropped. The latter goes for our men's team too.

------------------------------------

Richmond suffered a 38-point defeat at the hands of Geelong at Ikon Park on Saturday night.

The Cats completely suffocated the Tigers to record a resounding 6.13 (49) to 1.5 (11) victory.

Geelong dominated territory in the first half, winning the inside 50 count 28-4 to completely deny Richmond any real chance of generating scoreboard pressure.

Livewire Chloe Scheer and gun midfielder Georgie Prespakis bobbed up with goals in the first term for the Cats, however, their inaccuracy in front of goal meant the Tigers only trailed by 17 points at the main break.

The third term was an arm-wrestle between the two sides, with neither team able to boot a major.

Richmond's defence was under siege all evening, as Geelong generated repeat inside 50 entries (50-19).   

Prespakis (27 disposals) was superb and well supported by midfield maestros Amy McDonald (22 disposals) and Nina Morrison (16 disposals). 

The Cats bullied the Tigers around the contest, winning the contested possession count 110-98 as the Tigers struggled to find any connection on ground. 

Geelong spearhead Aishling Moloney broke the drought of goals when she scooted out the back early in the fourth quarter, with majors to Julia Crockett-Grills and Renee Garing following shortly thereafter as the dam wall well and truly burst open.

Garing's return to the side was a positive for the Cats, with the 35-year-old veteran recording 12 disposals and eight tackles. 

Intercepting beast Claudia Gunjaca was a force to be reckoned with in the backline (nine intercept possessions), whilst defender Chantel Emonson (14 disposals) was also solid. 

It comes as no surprise that Monique Conti was the Tigers best performer yet again, racking up 31 disposals and seven tackles. 

Conti has had a consistent campaign to date and currently sits equal fourth in the AFLW coaches' votes.

Richmond defenders Beth Lynch (20 disposals) and Eilish Sheerin (21 disposals) tried hard to stem the tide in defence.

Destiny is now out of the Tigers' hands, a big win over Collingwood in the final round of the season a must if other results can also fall their way.

The Cats have been one of the competition's biggest improvers in season eight and a finals berth looms for Dan Lowther’s side, assuming they can take care of business against the Hawks next round.

Up next
Richmond will need to defeat Collingwood at 3:05pm next Sunday if they are any chance of featuring in the finals.

Lack of fitness this late in the season.

Unacceptable

When I pointed out there was some girls that were festively plump, I was shut down pretty firmly.. it’s a fact ..

Also, the shambles of kicking one goal ISNT JUST US

Week seven
Carlton - 1 goal
West coast and western bulldogs- 2 goals
Four teams - 3 goals

Week eight
Multiple teams - 2 goals
Multiple teams - 3 goals

Crap standard
