McClelland long and Brennan takes the strong contested mark against 2 Giants. Finds Hosking in the pocket 10m out. Goal! 

Rich  2.1-13
GWS 0.1-1

[one-eyed]

Ryan inside 50 kick finds Brennan who takes the low diving mark 35 out. Misses just right.

Need to target the left goal post and let the breeze bring it back.

14 - 1

[one-eyed]

Good forward pressure and Shevlin with the HTB free 35 out. Doesn't connect properly and misses to the left.

15 - 1

Ch 7 commentators saying it's a 1-2 goal breeze.

[one-eyed]

Ball actually carried into the breeze (Dallaway) but Greiser can't soccer it across her body under pressure and it's a point.

We get it back from the kick-in and Dempsey goals 

Rich  3.4-22
GWS  0.1-1

[one-eyed]

Throw-in 30 out. Egan hands to Conti but the ping from the boundary misses.

23 - 7

[one-eyed]

Ball up 40 out. Free to Conti. Kick goes to a metre out and it's rushed.

24 - 7

[one-eyed]

Ball-up 30 out. We force it forward and Hosking is there to run into an open goal  .

Rich  4.6-30
GWS  1.1-7

Lmao at them gauging a breeze as 1-2 goals like it’s a men’s game of footy

The AFLW players are lucky to kick it half the distance .. play a slower more congested footy , and the games are horribly low scoring normally

So I can assume if an AFL game that it’s a 4-5 goals breeze ?

That’s the only way the assessment of the breeze advantage makes sense (being proven by us doing fine against it btw)

Richmond   2.3    4.6-30

Best contesting/tackling/defensive effort for a long while. Ball has spent most of the time in our forward half.

We've gone to sleep pressure wise. Back to back goals to the Giants.
