AFLW R10: Richmond vs Collingwood @ Victoria Park, Sun. Nov. 5

[one-eyed]

And that is why we suck. Ferguson's gameplan is all wrong. We don't defensively support each other. Exhibit A: Yassir runs forward when Brennan needed support rather than going in to win the loose ball. Not only just gifts the opposition the ball in the contest but it leaves our defensive side (opposition's offensive side) wide open to run forward and rebound in space.

Our goalkicking is just as bad. Another gettable snap and miss (Shevlin).

3 - 12

We are getting the centre clearances but once it gets to HF/in50 we have no idea. Ends up a scrap and rushed aimless disposals and scores = points.

5 - 12

[one-eyed]

Sums us it when we kick long over the heads of the leading forwards .


Good smother at HF gives us the ball back on the turnover with an open forward line. We finally use ball cleanly too with everyone the same page. To Eastman 45 out who hits up Brennan 35 out in the pocket. Goal! 


Rich  1.5-11
Coll   2.0-12

[one-eyed]

Run down F50 tackle by Hosking wins the HTB free. Finds Brennan 25 out. Goal! 

Rich   2.5-17
Coll    2.0-12

[one-eyed]

High fend by the Pie on McClelland 45 out. Kicks to Brennan who takes the pack mark 25 out. Misses though.

18 - 12

[one-eyed]

Sheerin has an off the ground airy and misses an open goal in the goalsquare.

19 - 12

[one-eyed]

The Pies get a goal against the run of play to pay for our misses  .

19 - 18


As soon as the ball hits the ground in our D50 we panic and are clueless.

[one-eyed]

D'Arcy marks on 50. Goes long but it carries over Greiser's head for another behind.

20 - 18

[one-eyed]

Egan has a brainfade in D50 which turns over the ball.

Then another free 10m in front to Pies.

20 - 24


Dumb dumb dumb! .

Half-time

Richmond   0.3     2.8-20
Coll'wood   2.0      4.0-24


Cliche time - Bad kicking is bad footy. Should be 4 goals up but we're behind  .

We are utterly disorganised and clueless once it gets inside the arcs at both ends. That's on the coaches.

Sarah Hosking was seen walking with a trainer along the boundary and went into the rooms just before half-time. So, we may have another soft-tissue injury .
