AFLW Round 1 2022 - StKilda v Richmond

[DavidSSS]

More contributors also helps, we have a far quicker team now with better skills and more players at the level they need to be. The start of a rise and we should be making finals in the next couple of years if we can keep going. Was good to see the forward handpassing. Playing like Richmond, love it.

That was a good game to watch. Very Richmond like. Some of those handball chains through the middle were so exciting. I hope the boys were watching.

There’s one great passage that was on Insta, where we got it rolling from the middle and kept it going, resulted in one of Wakefield’s goals. Looked like trademark Richmond football.

Yes, that was a ripping piece of play. The forward handball game, very Richmond like. Also on Twitter, that Oldie posted.

Need to temper the expectation just a little (but not the enthusiasm) as the saints are quite likely to be in the bottom couple.

The improvement with our AFLW team has been remarkable - another proof point that we have our act together holistically as a club.

In 2020 I found they were really hard to watch - actually they were awful. In 2021 much better, but noticeable not up to it against the better teams. However that was next level again for our first game of 2022, they had a clear system and the skills to execute. I really hope it holds up against the better teams. I love seeing the improvement in many on the list, as well as the new girls.

I loved everything Ryan Ferguson said post match too - very Richmondy.

"Raise the fight" - I think I've heard that somewhere before.
