AFLW R2 - Richmond vs Western Bulldogs Sunday August 24, 12:35pm Ikon Park

Just need to look who our captain is
There in lies all our problems

 

[TigermanM2]

We are worse than last year. That’s on the coach.

 

[AstuteTiger]

This is brutal to watch

I'll call it now we could go winless this season or at best they will win two games

 

[Tigerandy63]

Not a single mark taken inside F50 (shakes head in disbelief).

 

[wegetpumped]

after our 2nd best player jumped ship to the best team in the comp (undefeated all the way through last year), the chance of us being one of the top sides was slim, at best.

Unfortunately, from top to bottom, the whole club is in disarray. How on earth did they let Sheehan and Spud Ferguson to be in charge still is mind-bogging.

 

[Phar Ace]

We are worse than last year. That’s on the coach.

Sad but true. Fumbly when we should be better composed. Too many decisions questionable with the ball. It's a system break down.

 

[AstuteTiger]

37 Free kicks to the dogs and 25 to us was the final free kick count.

How on earth can 62 free kicks be given. Seriously every contest The whistle blows

 

[59Stanley]

We are actually worse than day 1. Something significant needs to change it is simply trash

 

[guruisatiger]

Tiger tax.

Was at the reserves game yesterday sitting about 10 meter's to our senior coaches and Blair after about 5 shocking frees against us in a row i turned and asked them when as a club are we going to stand up against such terrible umpiring every game. They just looked at me and said nothing in return
They either don't care anymore or there just so use to it its like water off a ducks back
We should do something itd ridiculous in all 3 games on the weekend

 

[balmainforever]

There is a complete disconnect between our midfield and our forwards.

 

[Bojangles17]

Forgot this game was on , I saw the end of WB game last week and noticed some nice marks more than I saw with us , so am not surprised with the result , we look like wooden spoon material,,,, oh did we play coxy on oppo best player again , how that go

Tell me you didn’t watch us in 2020 without telling me you didn’t watch in 2020.

 

[Eraser]

Doubled down on some horrible coaching moves and lost again wow. Why is our best defender in the forward line? Why is our star draftee not playing? It’s become clear that our moderate success has come purely from talent because the coaches honestly have no idea. I think our list is in decent shape but Ferg is just not the one to take us forward.

 

[SunshineBoy]

There is a complete disconnect between our midfield and our forwards.

Seems like a virus has gone through both programs

 

[SunshineBoy]

No doubt we are awfull , but a couple of points

1 standard of the game will never improve with the way its umpired , you practice things at training which are correct but in an actual game are penalized by poor umpiring

2 at what point does the way the game is umpired against you makes you subconsciously say **** it this cheating and as a group you give up

Any thoughts anyone, and the umpiring farce is RFC wide and not confined to one of our teams , VFL , vflw , afl and AFLW

 

[Third Ring]

Just need to look who our captain is

Was very underwhelming today; constant out of position for marks or the few times she was in front she couldn’t hold them…and as for when the ball fell to ground….

 

[GoTigers2015]

Get rid of Sheehan. Responsible for building a mediocre list.

Other teams move ball much better with less blunders

 

[Bojangles17]

Get rid of Sheehan. Responsible for building a mediocre list.

And completely botching sheerin contract

I’m not sure our list is in the shape you think it is.

Ferg in his presser talking about us having weapons. Well, we have two but unfortunately we don’t have the players to take advantage of those weapons.

I look over the last couple of seasons and I ask myself who has improved?
Outside of Poppy and Beth Lynch I can’t think of anyone.

I would have liked to have seen Sierra play but they must have their reasons. I checked earlier in the week and around 13 of the top 15 draftees from 2024 have made their debuts. If she is fit and ready to go I cannot imagine she is not in the best 21 of 27 fit players. We aren’t THAT good.

That’s true im just throwing at a hypothesis, but we do great tik tok videos

I didn't get to watch today's game but noticed that Sarah Poustie who played mid with Sierra for Vic Metro had 10 disposals and 9 tackles. Sierra needs to come in asap, she plays similar to Poustie and will immediately improve our team. Drop one of the new trade ins or replacement players as they're not making much of an impact, and it doesn't make sense with these poor individual performances and poor team performance to keep a player like Sierra sitting in the stands. Must play her next week.

 

[Grechy]

It’s sad that we’ve got all time talent in Mon and the dribble around her is miles below. Midfield looks about as flat footed as the men’s.

 

[Tiger_4_Life]

All facets of leadership in the women's program is lacking.

Sooner Sheehan and Brennan are gone, the better.
