Go Woody!!!

Wood to debut against Kangaroos
By Grace Kalac, richmondfc.com.au

Talented young midfielder Ella Wood will make her AFLW debut against North Melbourne at Ikon Park on Sunday afternoon.
Wood was taken by the Tigers with their third selection (Pick No. 31 overall) in the 2019 NAB AFLW Draft, becoming the first ever player from Ararat to be selected in the AFLW draft.

A life-long Richmond supporter, Wood will wear the Club’s famed No. 17 guernsey.
The 19-year-old, who travelled with the team to the Gold Coast last weekend as an emergency, will be the Tigers’ 13th AFLW debutant this season.

A smooth-moving left-footer, Wood has been named on the wing, where she impressed in the Tigers’ pre-season practice matches with her creativity and pinpoint kick.
She replaces Tayla Stahl, who suffered a hamstring injury in Round 2 against the Suns.

Richmond’s two emergencies for the Kangaroos clash are listed top-up players Hannah McLaren and Luka Lesosky-Hay.
Ciara Fitzgerald (illness), who was named on the extended interchange bench in Thursday night's squad, has been forced to withdraw and replaced by Lesosky-Hay.
The first bounce at Ikon Park is set for 3.10pm, with the Tigers looking to record their first AFLW win.

Richmond’s Round 3 team:
B: 18. Sarah Sansonetti, 34. Akec Makur Chuot
HB: 16. Laura McClelland, 2. Phoebe Monahan, 28. Gabrielle Seymour
C: 17. Ella Wood, 3. Katie Brennan, 15. Rebecca Miller
HF: 14. Sabrina Frederick, 10. Kodi Jacques, 6. Christina Bernardi
F: 8. Courtney Wakefield, 5. Maddy Brancatisano
Foll: 11. Alice Edmonds, 4. Monique Conti, 43. Grace Campbell
I/C: 7. Lauren Tesorerio, 12. Laura Bailey, 1. Sophie Molan, 13. Alana Woodward, 9. Hannah Burchell
Emg: 29. Hannah McLaren, 23. L. Lesosky-Hay
In: Ella Wood
Out: Tayla Stahl (hamstring)

NEW:
17. Ella Wood
MIDFIELDER/DEFENDER

Wood is a hard-running left-footed midfielder from the GWV Rebels with a pinpoint kick. The creative dasher was taken by Richmond with its third selection at the 2019 NAB AFLW Draft (Pick No. 31 overall). The lifelong Richmond fan will be an exciting prospect for season 2020

whoa to have 2 top ups as emergencys means we have 7+ injured players ATM
that's bad

 

[mauricerioli]

Poor kicking for goal costing us again.
3 gettable shots missed in the first quarter, should be in front.

 

[harimal12]

Hard running from Conti..

 

[Rubber Hips]

Umpiring is very bad at AFLW level...

 

[Matthew2708]

4 goals in about 5 minutes for the kangaroos.

 

[BF Tiger]

After half time and 10 of the team have no more than three disposals. Just can’t get started.

Consistency key for AFLW Tigers
Tom Hunter says building consistency is key to the Tigers' progression.

Richmond AFLW coach Tom Hunter says consistency is key for the Tigers, as they look to build on the positive signs they showed in Sunday’s loss to the Kangaroos.

Senior Coach, Tom Hunter and Defender, Phoebe Monahan speak to the media following the Round 3 match against North Melbourne.
"It took us until after half-time to get the game the way we wanted it. I think the third quarter showed glimpses of the type of game we can play and the side we're going to become," Hunter said post-game.
"For us, as a young side, it's about getting that consistency across the game, in terms of quarters but also the moments and passages with ball in hand and defending.
"(North Melbourne) kicked two goals in the first quarter, we had three behinds, the opportunities were there."
While the Kangaroos kicked away in the second quarter, Hunter was pleased with his team’s response in the third, as Richmond equalised North’s performance with two goals apiece that term.
"To be able to play the game we know we can play (in that quarter), is pretty pleasing," Hunter said.
"But full credit to (North Melbourne), their second quarter was fantastic. They just seemed to have the answers

Defender and deputy vice captain Phoebe Monahan agreed there was noticeable improvement within the side and longer periods of competitiveness.
"To put it back into perspective, it’s our first season, game three," Monahan said.
"We have shown patches of the way we want to play but as 'Tommy' said, it's a matter of being consistent and making the most of our moments when they do come.
"We're really looking forward to next week and the rest of the season to do that, put those things into practice and trust the process that we're going to get there."
Hunter was full of praise for tough midfielder Grace Campbell, who racked up 11 touches and laid 10 tackles in just her second AFLW match.
"We love what Campbell brings to our side…her endeavour and her intent is fantastic, her energy and enthusiasm to defend is fantastic," he said.
"She gives us a great contest and pressure around the football and like us, she's a really good example of putting more patches together for longer and being more successful that way."

Monahan said it has been promising to see some of the other expansion sides make a statement against established clubs.
"(It) grows that belief that we have every opportunity to do that as well, we just need to be more consistent on the field, make the most of our moments and we'll get the win too," Monahan said.
