If I had a dollar for every aging, courageous, slightly banged up, not that quick, beloved premiership player called Jack that West Coast had recruited in recent times, I’d have two dollars. Which is not that much, but still weird that it’s happened twice!

Another night of being made to regret not getting rid of Kate Sheehan before she showed Grace Egan the door for peanuts.

Hard to watch the Tiges get absolutely beaten up on contested possession then see Grace Egan winning contest after contest in the Showdown. Still baffles me that we didn’t believe she was needed at Punt Road.

Despite being behind: probably our best half for the year. Pressure and intent. Unlucky not to be ahead.

Too many Tigers looked like they walked out beaten from the very start. What’s going on?

Turns out no midfield and dropping our most reliable tall defender wasn’t a good plan.

Tigers now have a better win-loss without Mon than were do with her. Richmond W-L with Mon Conti: 24-43 (36%) Richmond W-L without Mon Conti: 2-2 (50%) * These stats have been hand counted and are thus unreliable. But I’m pretty certain on the 2-2.

Gabby Seymour. What a captain! #gotiges

Wow! What an impressive last quarter from the Hawks to defeat the invincibles!

Richmond Women’s first ever win without Monique Conti. (To be fair she’s only missed two games before today). #gotiges

Mind you, the former captain has been super important too.

Geoff Matheson @matho.bsky.social · 13/09/2026
I’m satisfied with our choice of co-captains. Saints giving us a fright: it’s Ellie driving it forward, and it’s Gabs taking the one on three contested mark and goal. 😍 #gotiges

Fighting hard but was always going to be tough without Mon (or Ellie) out there. Would love to see a semblance of a rule book around holding the ball. Farce.

Gee I sure hope these poor Roos can add one of the most promising players in the competition next year. 🙄

So many young players stepping up. Gritty win.

Whatever we told Poppy at half time was enormous. She was getting towelled up by Wales in the first half, but some magnificent taps, marks and contests were absolutely vital.

Izzy Bacon is absolutely turning into the player her teammates told us she’d be. That run off half back was such a huge part of the win. Beruldsen and Dethlefsen just attack the ball with such ferocity. Just want Fina to find the easy handball whenever she can (that kick isn’t quite there yet)

Take on the tackle, given forever to get rid of it. Throw it 10m forward: play on.

Geoff Matheson @matho.bsky.social · 30/08/2026
Well we didn’t look close to being the better team that quarter: and yet has a slightly better result.

Geoff Matheson @matho.bsky.social · 30/08/2026
AFLW umpires do a good job of making the holding the ball calls even more arbitrary than they are in the men’s. No mean feat.
040
Geoff Matheson @matho.bsky.social · 30/08/2026
Better team for most of the quarter: no reward at all. Meanwhile it goes up the other end for two goals. Kills us. #gotiges #dreamtime

Geoff Matheson @matho.bsky.social · 29/08/2026
We might’ve found the Roos’ Achilles’ heel. Just put their opponents in identical uniforms and they turn it over so much more often. #aflw #worstjumperclashever

So good to see the swans get up in the W game. Hard to imagine a team who deserves it more this week.

Geoff Matheson @matho.bsky.social · 15/08/2026
And Yassir into the mid is a huge tick.

Happy to sign off on Wolmarans: she is a star!

Geoff Matheson @matho.bsky.social · 15/08/2026
I’ll be interested in seeing if we stick with the three talls plan up forward. We’re marking remarkably well, but already getting hurt a bit on i50s when it hits the deck.

Geoff Matheson @matho.bsky.social · 15/08/2026
It’s definitely not a finished product, and we’ve got a long way to go to win this but there are genuinely great signs from the Tiger Ws! #gotiges

Geoff Matheson @matho.bsky.social · 15/08/2026
Just love the umpire backing up a free for punching the ball into a 50m against a player in touching distance of her opponent. That and an inability to make the most of good chances.

Geoff Matheson @matho.bsky.social · 15/08/2026
Kudos to the umpires that quarter who worked out it would be too obvious if they didn’t at least pay two blatant holding the balls. But kept up the discipline and allowed Silvagni to assault Lynch in the marking contest as much as he liked.

Geoff Matheson @matho.bsky.social · 15/08/2026
Umpires looked at last weeks umpiring debacle and thought: I reckon we can umpire them out of this much earlier. Entire half where the only free Richmond got was a damn lasso.
020
Geoff Matheson @matho.bsky.social · 13/08/2026
That feels like a very tall forward line. Wings and mids will need to have their skated on to get some crumbs.

Geoff Matheson @matho.bsky.social · 13/08/2026
Katie Brennan’s 75th AFLW game to be her first as a non-captain. That’s some sort of record.

Geoff Matheson @matho.bsky.social · 09/08/2026
Shout out to the AFL who were once obsessed with providing the women's competition "clear air", but now can't even be bothered to leave a space in their mens schedule to not clash with their season opener. Head office needs a clean out.

Geoff Matheson @matho.bsky.social · 08/08/2026
Any danger the umpires could’ve worked out they could pay a free kick the other way before the last minute of the game? Killed is in the last.

You can’t fight city hall.

Plenty wanted Ralphsmith shown the door at the end of this season. But he’s done some huge things last two games.

Geoff Matheson @matho.bsky.social · 08/08/2026
Another Arc robbery of Lynch. Typical.

Geoff Matheson @matho.bsky.social · 08/08/2026
So despite the quality of that football: we’ve got a lead. Will the bad quarter be the 2nd one or the 3rd this week? #gotiges

Takeaways from the AusvIre game so far: if Mim Strom goes to North at the end of this year you could just call the comp off as a contest. Strom to Riddell or Garner just looks so gorgeous. Hitting up Randall or Bogue.

Adelaide supporters: this is shit. Booing Quaynor is going to make me want the pies to win. Nobody deserves that.

We are on such a roll of dropping the wrong player and seeing them injured in the VFL.

Geoff Matheson @matho.bsky.social · 19/07/2026
He’s played a handful of games and he still looks like our classiest player Sammy Lalor.

Geoff Matheson @matho.bsky.social · 19/07/2026
Glad we fixed out forward pressure by dropping Alger. 🙄

Any hope of a plan?

Milestone match for a champion of the club and we serve up this shit.

Geoff Matheson @matho.bsky.social · 04/07/2026
Takes on the tackler, can’t get rid of it, umpire puts his whistle to his mouth and calls a ball up. Weak umpiring

Not like Tom Stewart to bump a bloke in the head. I’m told he never does that.

Give a dodgy free kick, they take advantage and miss so of course you call it back to let them score.

Geoff Matheson @matho.bsky.social · 24/04/2026
Any danger we could get the most blatant holding the ball frees called? At all?
