Tigers eye surprise with No.1 pick after major trade

AFLW draft prospect Scarlett Johnson is firming as this year’s Pick 1 favourite, with Richmond strongly considering taking the Northern Knights star with the first selection next week.

The Tigers on Sunday struck a crucial trade with Gold Coast, moving from Pick 4 up to Pick 1 as part of a deal that also helped the Suns net more selections to match early bids on their array of top academy prospects.

Industry sources initially suggested the Tigers had traded up to get first access to the likes of star Oakleigh Chargers on-baller Chloe Bown — who produced an impressive and compelling 2025 campaign across all levels — and Subiaco key forward Olivia Wolmarans.

But rival clubs now believe Johnson - a versatile 175cm wing/defender with excellent running capacity and arguably the best aerial game in this year’s pool - is the player most likely to be taken by Richmond with Pick 1 at Monday night’s AFLW draft, which will be broadcast live and exclusive on Fox Footy.

Foxfooty.com.au understands Johnson has a scheduled meeting with Richmond on Thursday after the completion of the AFLW trade period. But Johnson this week is also set to meet with the GWS Giants, who hold Picks 2 and 3 and have shown interest in the Eltham utility.

Despite missing out on AFL Academy selection, Johnson put together an awesome 2025 campaign. She made the Under 18 All-Australian team after averaging 19.5 disposals per game for Vic Metro, as well as the Coates Talent League team of the year. Johnson then produced three top-10 finishes at the national draft combine in the 20m sprint, agility test and running vertical jump.

Should both the Tigers and Giants overlook Johnson, it’s highly unlikely she would slide past Adelaide, which in the past week has also traded up the order to Pick 4.

Tigers poised to pounce on draft bolter with coveted No.1 pick

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.

Richmond is another club monitoring a potential last-minute trade, having held an interest in Fremantle's Dana East across the last fortnight and having met with the midfielder in recent days.

Adelaide's Kiera Mueller has also re-signed at the Crows amid interest from Richmond and Collingwood.

Katelyn Cox and Shelby Knoll have not been offered contracts for the 2026 season.

We thank both players for their hard work and contributions to the Club 💛🖤

Richmond AFLW List and Recruiting Manager, Trent Mosbey, thanked both players for their hard work and application during their time at the Club.

“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.

“We wish both players all the best for the future and are grateful for their contribution to Richmond.”

Richmond holds selections 1, 38, 40 and 56 at Monday’s AFLW National Draft.

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.

Dana heads East to Richmond
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.
