We will see where we are really at this week.

If it was a team of males I wound say “prepare to cop it no lube”

As these are females, I’m sure there would be a PC uproar

So I’ll roll with , “prepare for the girls to get beaten rather comfortably by a far superior side”

Poppy Kelly was in a moon boot last Sunday at Port Melbourne

Still staggers me she played the week before when clearly her injury was more severe than they thought

So I'd be surprised if she plays before the final 2-3 rounds

Richmond v Brisbane Preview

Gemma Bastiani
womens.afl
22 September 2022


Despite Brisbane sitting atop the ladder undefeated, and Richmond eighth with an even ledger, these two sides play similar styles of footy, the Lions are just doing it more efficiently. Richmond is third in the competition this season for inside 50s with 31.9 per game – the 14th most in AFLW history – but is simply not generating enough score from those entries. Alternatively, Brisbane is leading with 37.8 inside 50s per game and also going at the highest goal efficiency the competition has ever seen, kicking a goal from 25.8 per cent of its entries. 

Richmond's defence has stood strong this season, particularly last week against Essendon's attack without leader Bec Miller, but the Lions are a whole new type of challenge. This season the Tigers are the worst clearance side in the competition, which makes them particularly vulnerable to Brisbane's quick forward entries which will really expose their backline in the one-on-one.

Tip: Richmond will work hard but the Lions are just too good. Brisbane by 20 points.

Another soft tissue injury to a key player! It's affecting both our men's and now our women's team. Can't blame age either as both Bec Miller and Sarah Hosking are in their prime. They aren't in their 30s. Whatever we are doing in terms of conditioning down at Punt Rd, it clearly needs to change.

Katie being "rested" after just one game back doesn't sound good either  :-\.

Half-time

Richmond   1.0    1.3-9
Brisbane    1.3     1.4-10

Goal: Wakefield


Good pressure to keep the ball in our forward half (breeze helps) but as has been the case so far this year we struggle to score once it gets inside F50.

It would've helped if the umps weren't pathetic. Clear HTB free to us 10m out not paid and the Jacques non-free 30 out when it was clear push out were just bizarre.

Scalp of the season? Tigers tame ladder-leading Lions in HUGE upset

RICHMOND      1.0     1.3     2.4     2.6   (18)

INJURIES
Richmond: Nil
Brisbane: Nil

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

RICHMOND has beaten the odds to knock off the previously undefeated Brisbane Lions, in a statement win by four points at the Swinburne Centre.

Brisbane – who came into the game with a percentage of 322 – has comprehensively blown sides out of the water this season, but the Tigers showed nerves of steel in the 2.6 (18) to 1.8 (14) triumph.

The game was heavily affected by a swirling breeze to the Punt Road end, but both Brisbane and Richmond failed to capitalise on their respective advantages in the first and second quarters.

The tall forwards had their moments in the sun in the first half, with Tiger Courtney Wakefield saluting against the wind and Lion Taylor Smith capitalising at the other end, but it was small teammate Greta Bodey who looked most threatening.

Wakefield kicked her second against the wind halfway through the third term, giving the Tigers the lead after the Lions had taken a one-point advantage into the main break.

Richmond hung on grimly in the last quarter as Brisbane kept coming again and again, regardless of the fact it was kicking against the wind, with inaccuracy ultimately costing the Lions.

Defender Maddie Shevlin played her best game in Tigers colours with 24 disposals and 658m gained, while Belle Dawes was Brisbane's best, the tenacious midfielder recording 23 disposals and seven clearances.

Five minutes of chaos
Brisbane peppered the goals in the final five minutes but some desperate Richmond defence kept them alive – Emily Bates had a snap with five minutes remaining, but her shot drifted right, Dakota Davidson took a strong mark near the goalsquare in the dying minutes, and attempted to play on, but her shot was smothered by Gabby Seymour. Sophie Conway also had a shot knocked through by Libby Graham.

Up next
Richmond will be hoping for four on the trot, against bogey side Gold Coast at the Swinburne Centre. Brisbane will be looking to get back on the winners list against Essendon at Moreton Bay.

Can't believe we won that with Jacques, Molan and Williams in the side and no Brennan.

Brisbane were really off their game but take it and run.

A lot is said about the skill level but fmd the umpires are so bad, relatively speaking they are at auskick level

Been saying it every season Chuck, the standard of umpiring in the AFLW is deplorable and gets worse every season.

While many are critical of the overall standard of the comp fact still remains this is supposed to be the premier women's footy comp in the country and as you say the umpiring is Auskick level. It is a disgrace.

It is not helping the cause one iota

And BTW being at the game Jacques wasn't to bad, alot of hard work off the ball not shown on the TV probably because of all of the rolling rugby mauls created by the incompetent umps

How the Tigers tamed ladder-leading Lions

SITTING atop the ladder, tossing aside opponent after opponent, Brisbane has been the team to beat this season. On Saturday, Richmond did just that without captain Katie Brennan, vice-captain Sarah Hosking and key defender Bec Miller.

But how did they do it?

Make ball movement tough

Statistically the Lions won most metrics around the ground. They were +11 in clearances and +31 in tackles but struggled to find any meaningful ball movement, going at just 56 per cent disposal efficiency. This was down to the Tigers' desire to create chaos and really attack the contest.

In recent seasons Brisbane has built its game on one percenters - team first actions - but it was the Tigers who came to the fore in that respect on Saturday, registering a club-high 38 one percenters, +10 for the game. Recruit Libby Graham led the side in the metric, racking up 10 one percenters for the game - the equal-second most in competition history.

Added to this, relative to Richmond's season to date, there was a significant shift in its contested possession rate against Brisbane, with 56 per cent of the side's possessions contested compared to 49.4 per cent across the opening four rounds.

Tigers coach Ryan Ferguson sent Meg Macdonald to tag Emily Bates, and she wore her closely all day, while Brisbane star Ally Anderson had a rare quiet day of her own, greatly limiting the visitors' usual dominant duo at the contest.

Richmond's ability to make the game chaotic and unpredictable didn't allow Brisbane to settle into the game, methodically craft passages of play and dominate with a forward-half game.

Can't stop them going forward? Then make it hard to score

Even without their usual control through the middle of the ground, the Lions still sent the ball forward 32 times - six more than Richmond - but once they were in attack their efficiency was exceptionally poor.

Brisbane scored from 37.5 per cent of its forward entries - its lowest since last season's preliminary final loss - and goaled from just 3.1 per cent - its lowest in club history.

The Tigers' work higher up the field forced uncharacteristically poor inside 50s from Brisbane, which then played into the hands of Richmond's defensive unit. The trio of Laura McClelland, Eilish Sheerin and Maddie Shevlin combined for 30 intercepts and 18 rebounds out of the defensive 50.

At the other end of the ground, it didn't get a whole lot easier for Richmond's attack, scoring from 34.6 per cent of their own attacking forays, but the difference was ultimately their own goal accuracy of 22.2 per cent compared to the Lions' 8.3 per cent.

Don't let up

Ultimately this game was defined by a single moment - Dakota Davidson's choice to attempt a quick snap from a set shot that was dramatically smothered by Gabby Seymour.

Davidson's decision to rush the kick was a result of a build-up of tight footy, perceived pressure and a desperation to score. Seymour's smother was emblematic of the grit and determination Richmond had shown throughout the game.

It was Shevlin's relentless rebounding, and 658 metres gained to limit Brisbane's possession in attack. It was Macdonald's willingness to stick to a tiring, selfless task on one of the best players in the competition. It was the reliability of Wakefield in front of goal to take her chances. It was Seymour's smother.

Above all, it was the team's willingness to stick to the plan. It wasn't always going to be pretty footy but it was a plan that required all Tigers to buy in and do so right until the very last siren.
