AFLW: Richmond vs Essendon @ TIO Stadium --- Round 3, 2025

[one-eyed]

Quarter time

Richmond    1.0-6
Essendon    2.2-14

Goal: Scott


We're at least trying to play a system tonight (kick and mark game) but it's not organised. Essendon feeding off our errors in our back half and they have greater leg speed.

A clueless rabble in defence. Mind you Graham had her legs taken out and no free. Another goal to the Bombers.

6 - 21

[one-eyed]

Shevlin from 50 to the goalsquare and Kelly takes the mark in the middle of the pack 10m out. Misses a sitter dead in front .

7 - 21

[one-eyed]

Conti to Seymour who has pushed up to HF. Goes long and Scott marks in front 25m out. Another shank and miss dead in front .

8 - 21

[one-eyed]

And this is where Ferguson shows what a dud coach he is. No structure forward or behind the ball.

[one-eyed]

Why would you have a forward set up with your small forward in the goalsquare isolated against 3 opponents?!

Rushed point to us.

Half time

Richmond    1.0     1.3-9
Essendon    2.2     3.4-22

Goal: Scott


Hard to win when you can't kick goals. Inside 50 efficiency is Rich 27% Ess 63%. Amateur 'coach' = unprofessional team.

McKenzie our best so far. Quality drops away quickly after her and Conti.

OMG we actually moved the ball by foot in a systematic way 

Brennan gets on the end of it and goals 

Rich   2.3-15
Ess    3.4-22

[one-eyed]

And then we give up a soft goal by kicking it sideways across HB to an outnumbered teammate .

15 - 29

[one-eyed]

Ford free 45 out. Goes to the goalsquare. Scott grabs it but her kick through defenders is touched through.

16 - 29

Not watching the AFLW

Happily watching the Storm -v- Roosters

[one-eyed]

Let's keep kicking it to where Essendon has all their defenders together  .

18 - 29

[one-eyed]

Well that sums us up. Beruldsen ignores McKenzie and snaps around her body at goal and it goes high and wide straight to the only Essendon defender .
