AFLW: Richmond vs Collingwood @ Punt Rd --- Round 6, 2024

[Damo]

Bit of Clawski in that last post Damo with those capitals but have to say - I COULDN’T AGREE MORE.
It’s ridiculous

Have to be very careful what is said in AFLW threads these days

So I was very clear to make a point it wasn’t an anti AFLW post

Clever by Dempsey to centre it and Greiser marks 30 out. Goal!

Some nice goals that quarter from Greiser and Sheerin. Just cut out as a team the handballing in the wet especially in the back half. Too much of it in the last 5 mins of that qtr.

Much better with the wet weather footy this week. Only goal we conceded was from our own undisciplined downfield act. The Pies would've been held goal-less otherwise.

[WilliamPowell]

Solid win. Another increase in %

4 games to go, Another win should get us to finals, though should be aiming for top 4

Thunder and lightning, 2nd half to be delayed

Deadset

This isn’t a comment on the AFLW, as the AFL would be the same

The world has gone soft. Get out there and play the game FFS. I wonder how many players have been injured by a lightning strike in the last 100 years Australia wide?

It isn’t golf with a metal club!!!

We are so soft these days

Absolutely zero reason why they can’t continue

AND I’LL STATE AGAIN, I KNOW IT WOULD BE THE SAME IF AFL

Every outdoor sport does it these days. Clubs and Leagues would be liable for negligence if they didn't stop play.

"In Australia, approximately 25% of people killed by lightning are playing sport."

Not in Australia, but an Aussie goalkeeper was killed by lighting in Malaysia during a training session.

There's also an infamous pic of an Indonesian footballer being hit by lightning who died.

Last game against hawks will decide top4 i think. Kangas, crows and lions will likely occupy the other 3 spots.

Good game from the ladies. Skills were far and away better than the pies.

I’m almost ready to eat my words re Kelly and Gresier, however will see how they go when we play some good sides.

MCKenzie would have to be the best kick in the AFLW.
