AFLW Richmond v Collingwood at Vic Park no less
- Thread starter DavidSSS
- Start date
Yassir is a terrier, very harshly dealt with off the ball but bounced back. Has shown plenty this year.
Yep, Pies girls get multiple opportunities with the ball, Tigers get 1/2 a chance.
Seymour one of a handful who've genuinely improved.
4Boat on Twitter described it perfectly as a team of Mitch Farmer's trying to play like Shane Edwards.

I looked at one point and the frees were 10 to 1. Not surprising when you see a Collingwood player tackled after plenty of prior opportunity get a free for in the back but Richmond players were pinged in exactly the same situation. Umpiring was woeful as usual.
But on to the more important aspects of the game.
You could tell it has been a long season for the Richmond players, so clearly outclassed.
The way our players fumbled the ball when trying to pick it up, spilled marks and there was rarely a player running beside the pack in support was in stark contrast to Collingwood. They were clean and always had an outlet.
Richmond need to work very hard on skills and hopefully we can get some depth over the off season. That was a disappointing season. I suppose part of the issue with not running in support was the assumption we would net get the ball. Collingwood were clearly faster than Richmond and could run all day. They're pretty good but not good enough to challenge the likes of Melbourne and Adelaide. We have a long way to go, sadly.

Tough with both Hoskings, Brennan, Lavey & Cordner all missing.
I hope Ferg stays, but Sheehan you have to view as a massive failure. 2 of our 3 highest draft picks have massive question marks over them in Molan and Reid.
Just thinking about the free kicks, which were 29 to 12 by the end. Must be that Richmond women somehow play like Richmond men because apparently that is the reason for the free kick differential, and the same goes for Collingwood. But the Richmond men do look like their game style is very different and they win more often.
We must all be seeing it wrong because apparently the umpires are totally competent and not in any way inconsistent.

It pissed me off watching the game, but it is a good preparation for the anticipated reaming we'll cop on Thursday.
Dumpires are just warming up.
