Geelong v Richmond - Rd1 Sun 28 August 20222

You just knew that blonde chick was gonna pay a free in front of their goal.

It’s gonna be another long season for our girls.

Umpiring is atrocious both ways. If that was a sling tackle, how did she get up and kick the ball easily?? Where's the bump to the head??

They'll be happy the way they won eh Jason Bennett??? What you mean with a complete and utter *smile* free.

Our forward line looked all over the place today, we just seemed so immobile with Darcy and Wakefield up there. Brennan gives us something different.

Stella Reid and Sophie Molan both still completely underwhelm.
 
It's 2 goals to 1.

If horrendous umpiring is going to influence AFLW results then people will switch off.

It's good to give females some opportunity, but the standard is way below. It'll take a decade to get this to a reasonable level.

That umpiring made the likes of O'Gorman, Deboy and Findlay look like superstars.

Why weren't the AFL umpires, umpiring this weekend anyway???

What was the free for and why was it paid down field? Horrible.

A sling, which it wasn't, and the downfield was because she was "dumped" late after she disposed of the ball, which she wasn't.

2 horrible decisions in the same play gifts them the game. As others have said, if this is the standard of umpiring and it influences games like this, then people will switch off away from the game.

A combined score of 3 goals 8 points would have only beaten two other teams this round.The conditions were fine.Going to be a long season for these two teams.
