Midfielder Dana East has joined the Tigers via a trade with the Dockers.

Midfielder Dana East will play for Richmond next year after the Club completed a trade with Fremantle in the final moments of the trade period.
East arrives at Richmond along with selection No. 63 and Fremantle’s future third-round selection.
In exchange, Richmond has traded the Dockers' selection No. 40, Gold Coast’s future third-round selection and North Melbourne’s future fourth.
The 23-year-old has played 49 AFLW games for the Dockers, including eight this year, where she averaged 14 disposals, five tackles and two clearances.
East was a former West Australian junior basketball captain before switching to football in her draft year and parachuting up draft boards to be selected at 31 overall (fourth in WA).
The tough midfielder has continually impressed for the Dockers across her five seasons at AFLW level with consistently strong tackling and clearance numbers.
Richmond AFLW List and Recruiting Manager, Trent Mosbey, said that East would add speed and agility to the Club’s stocks, as well as excellent character.
“We are delighted to bring Dana to Richmond. She plays the right way and adds a hard edge to our midfield,” he said.
“She has clean hands and an ability to bring others into the game, particularly around stoppage.
“She has a great deal of AFLW experience, and also a lot of upside to continually improve her game at the Swinburne Centre.”
Richmond holds selections 1, 38, 56 and 63 at the AFLW National Draft set to be held next Monday. The Club is also armed with an additional third-round pick next season.

By Sarah Black
Dec 9, 2025, 12:37 pm
RICHMOND is a chance to spring a surprise with pick No.1 on Telstra AFLW Draft night, with its eyes on bolter Scarlett Johnson.
The 18-year-old Northern Knights utility – who wasn't in the Marsh AFLW Academy this year – has gradually built buzz among clubs over the past few months since her strong performance at the Marsh AFLW Under-18 Championships.
That enthusiasm hit fever pitch during club interviews at the Telstra AFLW Combine, with a number of clubs at the top end of the pool – believed to include Adelaide, which coincidentally ended up with the Tigers' former No.4 pick, as well as Collingwood and Melbourne – eager for Johnson's services.
Given Richmond has now ended up with the No.1 pick after a deal with Gold Coast, and the jostling for Johnson, the Tigers are understood to have her firmly in their sights.
Johnson was the Knights' best and fairest this year, and named an Under-18 All-Australian at half-back.
Standing at 175cm – one centimetre taller than Richmond key forward Katie Brennan – Johnson has played across all three lines in her time at the Knights, and can play as a marking forward, on the wing or as a rebound defender.
A former netballer from Eltham, in Melbourne’s north-east, she has an excellent sidestep, finishing third in the agility test at the Combine, as well as ninth in the running vertical jump and 10th in the sprint.
Johnson has been described as personable and an incredibly hard worker who has already developed elite habits around recovery and preparation, who has been in the Knights' leadership group at both under-16 and under-18 level.
If not Johnson, Oakleigh Chargers midfielder Chloe Bown has been at the top of draft charts for most of the year, while powerful Subiaco key forward Olivia Wolmarans is also expected to feature at the pointy end, with Greater Western Sydney holding picks two and three.

An U/19 All Australian, Reid also showed an ability to perform in big games with a standout three-goal performance in the NAB League Grand Final.

Richmond AFLW Recruiting Manager Trent Moseby said Reid was a high achieving character, determined and self-driven to have a successful AFLW career.
“Stella’s strengths in her game are her classy left foot kicking, overhead marking, high football I.Q, goal kicking, and running ability. She clearly has AFLW attributes,” he added.
Reid, who stands at 173cm, has displayed versatility in her game by playing forward, back, through the midfield, and on the wing in recent years.
“She has the potential to play as a dangerous forward or a hard-running midfielder at the elite level with her size, speed and aerobic capacity. We are excited about what Stella can become in our program,” Moseby said.

“Both Katelyn and Shelby had injury adversity during their time with us but continued to give their all for our program,” he added.
“Katelyn played 32 games for us, including every game and both finals in Season 7, while Shelby thoroughly deserved her AFLW debut this year after putting in a mountain of work behind the scenes.

« Last post by Andyy on Today at 11:37:32 AM »Who are the best AFL captains of the 21st century?
By SEN
9 Dec 2025
Narrowing the best of the lot down to a top five, SEN Breakfast duo Sam Edmund and Cameron Mooney picked their top handful of skippers since the turn of the millennium.
3 – Trent Cotchin (Richmond)
“The reason I've got Cotchin at 3 is like the man I've got at 1, he drove a culture reset at his club and drove standards.
“He reinvented himself as a player first and a leader along the way, and I reckon without him, you even wonder what actually happens at Punt Rd to some degree.
“Nine years as captain, three premierships as captain, but so much done behind the scenes to rebuild a club and a culture first. I think he has a massive role in that.
“There were board coups and challenges, and he was the captain the whole way through.
“Without him, I’m not sure what happens. He’s the centrepiece.”
https://www.sen.com.au/news/2025/12/08/afl-top-5-captains-since-2000-edmund-mooney-hodge-selwood-cotchin-voss
Sam has done a good job there IMO, don't disagree with too much.
Mooney is biased, putting Selwood above Cotch. Selwood walked into a stuffing premiership team ffs. Pathetic.
