AFLW: Richmond vs St Kilda @ Moorabbin Oval --- Round 6, 2025

[one-eyed]

Brainfades in D50. First Beruldsen on D50 giving away a dumb free. Then we get pinged for HTB (Dempsey over the ball) and give away 50 for a push.

20 - 15

[one-eyed]

When are going to get a tackle coach down to Punt Rd who can teach proper tackling technique?! .

More panicking in D50 and everyone asleep at the free kick and the Saints get another.

20 - 21

Half time

Richmond    1.2    3.2-20
St Kilda       0.2    3.3-21

Goal: Scott, Ford, McKenzie.


How to lose a 2 goal lead in the last 4 minutes before half time .

----------------------

Two goals against the grain for St Kilda gets them in front by a point. Just four forward half intercepts for the quarter, yet all three of their goals for the term have come from this source. In contrast, the Tigers had nine forward half intercepts in the first quarter and only scored one goal.

A gang tackle that time and Brennan gets the free in the pocket 35 out. Misses and just squeeze in for a point narrow side.
