Saturday, September 6th, 12:35 pm.

Casey Fields.

At this point the weather forecast is looking good: 20 degrees and no rain.

We’ll be putting on a sausage sizzle and there’ll be the usual fun things for kids: face painting, mini-golf putting, etc.

Would love to see more people attend this time around. ❤️💙

Heater is listed as “to be monitored”

bringing footy mad mr 6yo and "go dees" miss 2yo.
with sunscreen.
Will probably engage in all the fun stuff with them, facepaint etc etc.

any advice re parking etc?

thanks

Wow, that injury list isn't diminishing, is it?

Richmond stuck around against Essendon. I thought they were OK. This could be a bigger challenge than it might have seemed as we were steamrolling St Kilda a couple of weeks ago.

There’s ample parking at the ground. Parking is free.

There’s tons of fun stuff at our home games. Kids never get bored.

Be sure to pop over to our tent for a snag in bread or even just to say hello. I’ll tie “Go Dees” miss 2yo’s hair in red and blue ribbons if she likes (I always have a stash on me) 😊

Gabby returns


Shelley Heath selected as well

I would imagine it will be very difficult for Richmond players to recover from last week’s trip to Darwin. The thing about our last weeks game, whilst I wanted a slight adjustment in gameplan for the weather, it does show it is instilled in the group with some awesome kicks into the centre and fast forward hand passes. That will cut a team up if under done. I hope Heater is playing, and is love to see Banno up the ground getting involved and adding speed.

Not sure about the wisdom of bringing back Colvin, one of our slowest players, into a team that already looked overly tall and slow last week.

Pisano is a real worry, although the 2023 draft class looks to be quite weak. A top 5 pick should be finding the ball much more easily than she does at present.

Conti has easily the most i50’s for them, the most metres gained and also the most clearances. Perhaps a little simplistic but if we put Heath onto her and nullify her game it could go a long way to winning.

❤️💙 GAMEDAY ❤️💙

Pumped for this match! The players were taught a lesson last week (self-taught, actually) and have assured us there won’t be a repeat. They’re more determined than ever to smash this season 👊🏼

It would mean so much to them to see and hear lotsa love and support… LOUD love and support, from lotsa peeps.

Don’t let these gale force winds put you off - it’s fun having to superglue your hat to your head 😃

See y’all there!

GO THE MIGHTY DEES!!!

GO OUT THERE AND GIVE ‘EM HELL!

Lovely sunny day for it. I'll watch this then go into watching the men's final then tonight.

It's a tv footy feast this afternoon

I cannot find a live stream to this match.

Chris Donlon again? After last week? Seriously

It's live in the UK on TNT, if that helps....

Casey radio 97.7 fm has a broadcast

Only Fox or Kayo where I am.

Guess I'll just be following the stats and scores.

The return of the Bannan Hammer continues!

So glad - I was convinced she would be the prototype of the perfect AFLW player. Fast, tall, good balance of strenght and agility, and high initiative. Sometime went wrong in her confidence for a while and she was struggling to get into games consistently, but that seems to be turning back in her favour bit by bit. Back on the watch-list for AFLW superstar.

Another goal or two would be handy

Love the AI generated stats highlights on the AFL website

"The Tigers struggled to maintain territory, having just 19% of the quarter spent in their forward half. With the lack of territory, they weren't able to hit the scoreboard in the opening quarter for the first time this season, becoming the fourth team in 2025 to achieve this."

'Achieve this'.

A reminded that AI does not know right from wrong, good from evil, or achievement from failure.

Lozza P!!!!

How good is Molly O'Hehir

better quarter.

tiges are poor. no real class other than Conte

molly o'hehir really impresses me
