A late goal by Emelia Yassir has helped Richmond to their first win in four games, putting their AFLW finals campaign back on track with an 11-point victory over Hawthorn.
Separated by one point at half-time and down by nine points entering the last quarter, the Tigers pulled off a 6.5 to 4.6 victory to keep their finals hopes alive at Cazaly’s Stadium in Cairns on Friday night.Midfield duo Monique Conti and Grace Egan were typically influential for Richmond, while Hawthorn were led by Emily Bates and Jasmine Fleming .“Richmond were just absolute beasts, especially their midfielders.
McClelland was gifted a 50-metre penalty following a bump against Sarah Hosking by Sophie Locke and converted from inside the goal square while players were occupied by the tussle. Richmond rebounded in the last term, with Courtney Jones ending Hawthorn’s three-goal run with her first touch of the night, cutting the margin to three points.Dogged by inaccuracy in front of goal, Yassir reduced the deficit to a single point before finally breaking through on her third attempt.
