‘Pretty clear standout’: The ball magnet who won EVERYTHING as Giant draft coup looms

Ben Waterworth

December 11th, 2025

It was the tough, intimidating footy initiation that set Chloe Bown up for the most ridiculously impressive draft campaign and likely top-three draft selection.


The consensus among sources spoken to by foxfooty.com.au was that Bown was the No.1 open pool prospect, with one source declaring Bown was a “pretty clear standout”.

Clubs view Bown (173cm) as a consistent, reliable on-baller with an incredible work ethic and ability to kick well on both feet. Her ability to break lines and set up scores for her team are also weapons in an already loaded arsenal.

Bown has drawn similar praise from her peers, several telling foxfooty.com.au that they’d select Bown with pick 1.

Bown said she modelled her game on Richmond superstar Monique Conti.


Richmond, which moved up to Pick 1 during the AFLW trade period, will consider taking Bown with the opening selection of next week’s draft.

If the Tigers overlook her – and that’s becoming an increasingly likely prospect – it’s hard to see her sliding past the GWS Giants (Picks 2 and 3) or, at the latest, Adelaide (Pick 4).

Lyon straight back in
We need a spinner and it isn’t a day night pink ball test coming up ..
Lyon has the most wickets ever in Adelaide

As for Doggett .. I don’t see it either


Good point about the day game vs day/night tbh.

If we can carry a bloke or two like dog or inglis we may as well make it Lyon

560 test wickets at 30 a test

Don’t think he needs carrying .. most successful off spinner we’ve ever produced for goodness sakes

Why has Mosbey still got a job

In fairness Chuck I reckon we are going to learn more about Mosbey after this trade and draft than we have over last few seasons.

2025 is on him and him alone

What Richmond star thinks of Adem Yze’s re-signing

AUDIO: https://omny.fm/shows/3aw-afternoons/no-brainer-tom-lynch-comments-on-yze-re-signing-and-optimism-ahead-of-next-season


Richmond forward Tom Lynch has welcomed coach Adem Yze’s re-signing, saying he’s made a “great impact” in his short time at the club.

Yze has re-signed with the Tigers until the 2028 season following a promising year of growth in 2025.

Lynch told Shane McInnes that Richmond’s playing group was loving playing under Yze.

“It was a no-brainer (to re-sign him) to be honest,” he told 3AW Afternoons.

“He’s made a great impact so far since he’s been here. He’s into his third now and only getting better and better, and we really love playing under him.”

AFL rules and regulations memo sent to clubs for feedback:

- Intentional gut punches = 1 week.
- Pushing in a marking contest = rough conduct & a suspension.
- Contact with umpire 4+ times = 1 week suspension.
- Clubs who have 4+ umpire contact incidents = fine.
- Player fines escalate over one season,  not two.
- Wiggle room in careless cases where where concussion occurs to suspend for 1-2 weeks and not just 3 or nothing.
- Players who have Thu night game will have any tribunal case heard before Tue arvo/night.
