AFLW: Richmond vs Essendon @ TIO Stadium --- Round 9, 2024

[one-eyed]

Dumb free. No point bumping opponents after they get rid of it. How about picking up an opponent in the first place  .

[WilliamPowell]

Poppy King, Bec Miller 

Disgraceful, you punch and conceed

Gift them another with pathetic defence

[one-eyed]

Can we get coaches down at Punt Rd who teach our players basic defensive positioning and accountability. That goes for both women's and men's teams. Getting smashed in the last 10 mins.

[WilliamPowell]

Terrible 2nd quarter

Played well for 10 minutes then let them back into the game with dumb frees, terrible defence

[one-eyed]

Half-time

Richmond  2.2    4.2-26
Essendon   1.1    4.2-26

Goals: Brennan 2, Sheerin, Yassir.


Too many passengers. Mids and smalls not working hard enough and not being accountable. Getting smashed in the clearances. Actually, lucky to be level given how dominant Essendon have been stats wise.

Free to Brennan in the pocket for HTB against the Bombers. Misses.

27 - 26

[one-eyed]

Too easy for the Bombers. You can't allow them to mark and kick easily all the way towards goal  .

[one-eyed]

[one-eyed]

It's a ridiculous rule but everyone should know it by now after what happened in the men's comp with Collingwood against Freo.

[one-eyed]

Sheerin's kick was on target by it bounces up on the goal-line and not through and allows Essendon to rush it.

28 - 33

[one-eyed]

That was pathetic.

We've looked off our feet since midway through the 2nd. Workrate has been poor.

[WilliamPowell]

Another one to Bombers

Their up by 2 and we are on the ropes not just tonight but our season 

[one-eyed]

It ticks me off how we don't hold our defensive position. Everyone runs forward. Either it's selfishness or it's the coach's gameplan.

[WilliamPowell]

MonCon to the rescue
