McKenzie collects on the burst at HF and runs inside 50 but just misses on the run.

39 - 6

Does anyone who follows the league closely think we have a decent shot at it this season? The usual suspects of Adelaide, Brisbane and Kangas all seem like the biggest threats (not sure about saints).

Our draw looks incredibly soft, 6 games left against sides that are currently 7th, 11th, 12th, 14th, 15th and 17th.

Yep incredibly soft draw, we have major issues in our side that’ will get found out in finals against the better sides

After tonight there 7 games left. It is an 11 game season over 10 weeks.

IMHO we are definitely a chance as long as we keep our best players on the park. We have the best player in the comp, a player who if she stays fit will be one of the top 5 within 2 years. We have an outstanding captain and overall a very talented list. Obviously we have a few clogged but overall our top tier are excellent

We should be 4-0 not 3-1, the loss to WC was unacceptable but seems to have strengthen their resolve. Couple of big games coming up which will give us a good gauge of where we are at. N0rt are an outstanding team and Geelong have been a bogey side for us. Looking forward to see how we go

We should finsh top 4 and to meed to finish top 4

Seems like everything is going swimmingly as it is , regardless of the VFL program

So we could put the VFL program on the backburner and save that cash

When the woman’s program is profitable, jam more resources into it and do the VFL program

WP, I can only see 10 rounds listed on the AFL app.

Only playing 1-2 top 8 sides in a 10 round season is some crazy easy draw. Didn’t we finish top4 last season and then go out in straight sets or was that the season before?

Conti runs riot as Tigers stroll past goalless Blues

By Phoebe McWilliams
AFL Media
20 Sep 2024


RICHMOND superstar Monique Conti has led her team to its third win of the season with a resounding 33-point victory over Carlton at Ikon Park on Thursday night.

The Tigers midfielder put together an extraordinary individual performance collecting 32 disposals (18 contested) in her 50th club game, lifting her side to a 6.3 (39) to 0.6 (6) victory in front of a crowd of 1,855.

The reigning AFLW best and fairest winner dominated in and around stoppages, finishing the game with 10 clearances, 580 metres gained and two goal assists.

She was well assisted by fellow mids Grace Egan (24 disposals) and Ellie McKenzie (20).

The Blues will be disappointed with their performance, unable to put a major on the board from 25 inside 50s.

The Tigers adapted to the wet conditions better and were more efficient with their ball use, kicking long and moving the ball quickly to allow their forwards one-on-ones.

The quick ball movement enabled Richmond to score the first two goals, with Conti providing goal assists on both occasions. For the first of the game, she burst out of the stoppage to hit up captain Katie Brennan, and the second came from a long kick to forward Caitlin Greiser who won a marking contest in the goalsquare.

The Blues were dealt a further blow when captain Kerryn Peterson was ruled out with a shoulder injury, leaving them a rotation down on the bench.

Neither team was able to add a major in the second quarter, giving the Tigers an 11-point lead at half-time.

A 50-metre penalty halfway through the third quarter put Greiser within range for her second of the game, while new recruit Ally Dallaway found space from a turnover on Carlton’s kick-in for her first AFLW goal.

Richmond extended its lead to 23 points at three-quarter time.

Carlton had the first few entries inside 50s in the final term, but it was all over when a turnover by Brennan allowed her to kick her second goal and Greiser her third.

Maddy Guerin continued her excellent form with 19 touches, while Gab Pound (17) and Abbie McKay (16) were also busy.

The difference
Carlton coach Mathew Buck said in his post-match press conference that he backed his midfielders to match it with their opposition and therefore didn't place a tag on Richmond's Mon Conti. The Tigers star, who is arguably the League's best player, was left to her own devices, racking up a game-high 32 disposals and 10 clearances in a best-on-ground performance. The Blues' mids have been in form recently, but they were simply outclassed by the Tigers.

From retirement to Richmond
At the age of 36, Tamara Luke made her club debut for Richmond and looked right at home in her new colours. Luke, who played 15 AFLW games with St Kilda and Hawthorn, retired from Box Hill's VFLW side in June, only to get a call-up from the Tigers to be an injury replacement player for Montana McKinnon (knee). With the Tigers' No.1 ruck Poppy Kelly missing with a wrist injury, Luke got her opportunity and impressed with 22 hitouts and three clearances.

Up next
Richmond will return to Ikon Park next week for midweek footy, taking on Port Adelaide on Tuesday night.

TK, it is ten weeks not 10 rounds. Go to what says 5 and you'll see we play 2 games. One next Tuesday and then one the following Sunday.

Last season we missed finals. The season before we finished 3rd and went out in straight sets

Who said the women's program isn't profitable?

There's a soft cap, which we spend in its entirety without a VFLW side. We arecthe only AFL side without a VFLW side and it doesn't make sense. We actually have a licence that we pay the fee for and then we've outsourced to Port Melb

Even you would agree that when the Club bought in a stand alone VFL side it helped improve our men's program and contributed to our dynasty run

Thanks - I can see that now.

What a bizarre way to display fixturing. Another genius idea out of AFL HQ  ::)

So we are vsing the kangas. Seems like far and away our biggest challenge in the H&A season. Will get a good look at where we really stand after that game.

Players and the AFLPA (PA represents the AFLW players too) wanted to expand the season to 12 games, HQ said you can 11 games but it will still only be 10 week H&A season.

It is typical of the AFL, pat themselves on the back for having a women's comp but you have to question how serious they take it sometimes
