Geelong v Richmond - Rd1 Sun 28 August 20222
- Thread starter DavidSSS
- Start date
Just saw a few minutes of Bris v Freo on the TV at a fish and chip shop - far less scrappy and much better skills. I think there was possibly more pressure in our game v Geelong, but it was scrappy. Too many dropped marks, handpasses of any length were very inaccurate. Work to do for both teams.
Copy of the rule book for the umps too.

Damn looks like I missed the game of the year ........................................
I think the really disappointing thing about this one, and yeah it’s only the first game of the season, but we don’t look to have improved at all in any area.
Peeved the result came from a poor umpire decision. A sling tackle against the Tigers free in the last minute of the game and then paid up field to put the Cats player within distance of the goals.
Sling tackles occurred all day and only 2 were paid as free kicks.
Umpires are ruining the women's game just as they do in the men's game. But it's not all their fault - having to adjudicate the new rules leaves it open to interpretation and with multiple umpires those interpretations always differ.
It is just sad how far our great game has changed........

They should cite Kearns for launching once she was tackled, this is absurd.
That said, the AFL will likely fine or suspend Lynch.

Are you serious it was a good standard? Skills in the game looked like they had regressed to Year 1. Couldnt stand to watch most of it.
i saw this and Kearns definitely launches ..
even the amateur commentators were saying it ..
Yeah i think you are right. I was bullish but in hindsight we beat Hawthorn who may be terrible and Freo who have lost quality players in the praccy matches. Molan and perhaps Reid selections will haunt.
My wife said that women are not built suitably for contact sport.
If women want to play footy in the AFL, good on them, but as a spectator sport it does not excite or tick the right boxes.
The "skill" at ground level is very poor and have to admit we turned the game off after 1/2 time.
After not having the slightest interest in AFLW – and with no other sport on TV yesterday - I found myself watching yesterdays game. and I was pretty bloody salty at the end result. So that tells me something about myself.
3 things I learnt:
1. While the quality is still pretty woeful, they do go hard and aggressive, don’t they?
2. The umpires destroy the womens team as badly as the mens.
3. There is little doubt the women also have the “Richmondy” DNA in them. How the F did they lose that???
