I thought her last season was underwhelming to be honest

That's a fairly decent highlights package. No left foot but she seems very skillful and strong on her right. Good awareness too.

AFLW 2023 Fixture (RFC)

Tigers' 2023 AFLW fixture announced

richmondfc.com.au
17 July 2023


The Tigers will kick off their fifth season in the AFLW competition against Brisbane at Brighton Homes Arena on Sunday, September 3.

The clash in Queensland will be the first of three interstate matches for Richmond, with trips to Blacktown to face GWS (Round 3) and Cairns to face Hawthorn (Round 8 ) also on the agenda.

The Tigers' opening home game of the 10-round season will be in Round 2 against Adelaide on Friday, September 9.

Richmond will play its home games in 2023 at Ikon Park due to the Punt Road Oval redevelopment.

The Tigers will face Collingwood at Victoria Park in the final round of the home and away season, Pride Round, with the date and time to be confirmed closer to the weekend.

Richmond CEO Brendon Gale said that fixturing home games at Ikon Park provided more certainty for the fixture.

“With the development of Punt Road Oval potentially commencing later this year, we needed to consider alternative venues for AFLW home games,” he said.

“Given this, we have decided Ikon Park would be the best venue to host our home matches for the 2023 AFLW season.

“The players have played good football there in the past and enjoy the venue, which is also importantly accessible for our fans.

“We hope the Tiger Army can make Ikon Park a home away from home for us.”

Gale added that the Club would investigate the possibility of relocating some, or a game, back to the Swinburne Centre if there was a change to the commencement date of the Punt Road Oval construction.

Richmond AFLW List Update

Richmond will make a change to its AFLW list for the upcoming season, with forward Stephanie Williams to be placed as inactive.

The 21-year-old joined Richmond from Geelong ahead of Season 7 and featured in the opening five matches before a knee injury ended her debut season with the Club prematurely.

Williams will miss the 2023 campaign due to personal reasons.

Richmond Head of Women’s Football, Kate Sheahan, said the Club would fully support Williams through this period.

“Steph will be stepping away from our football program and the demands that come with an elite sporting environment,” she said.

“We love what Steph has brought to our organisation and will give her the time she needs.”

Richmond can add a replacement player to its list before the upcoming AFLW season to ensure its playing list remains at 30.

----------------------------------------------------

Pearce lands at Richmond

Richmond has signed 20-year-old ruck Lilly Pearce to its list as a replacement player for the upcoming AFLW season.

Pearce has been the dominant ruck in the QAFLW competition this season, averaging 35 hit outs per game to help Southport to a top-of-the-ladder placing.

The 186cm former national level heptathlete’s stellar form was rewarded with a position in the ruck for Queensland in their state victory over Tasmania this month.

Pearce has been a train-on player at perennial AFLW powerhouse Brisbane for the past three seasons, working alongside established talls Tahlia Hickie and Taylor Smith.

The Beaudesert product relocated to Gold Coast to further develop her football and has successfully become a Southport premiership player, AFLW train-on, and now Richmond player.

Richmond AFLW Recruiting Manager Trent Mosbey said Pearce’s strengths were her tap work, particularly in the centre bounce.

“Lilly has a huge leap to help her get over opposing rucks. She possesses elite athleticism and can cover the ground and get involved in possession chains post clearance,” he added.

“She is highly competitive on the follow-up after ruck contests and displays clean hands at ground level.

“We believe Lilly has significant upside and growth to come in her game which we are excited about to help her develop within our system and working with fellow rucks Gabby Seymour and Poppy Kelly.”

Off the field, Pearce recently deferred her criminology and criminal justice degree to make AFLW her priority.

The Queenslander replaces Stephanie Williams on the Tigers’ 2023 AFLW list, who was recently placed as inactive.

Poppy Kelly
Despite having a tough recent run with injury, Richmond ruck Kelly is set to have a real crack at a consistent season. As a handy tap ruck with the likes of Monique Conti, Grace Egan, and Ellie McKenzie at her feet she can improve the Tigers' strength at the contest, while also allowing the athletic Gabby Seymour to be used more across the ground.
