Richmond Rant / Re: Richmond AFLW team [merged]
« Last post by one-eyed on December 20, 2025, 06:55:06 PM »From Prez John O'Rourke:
As members would be aware, the Club commissioned a comprehensive external review of our AFLW program in
October. We could not ignore our on-field results this season and the Board is determined to build a program that
gives our female athletes the best chance of success.
The Board and management thoroughly considered the findings of the review, and it was decided that Ryan
Ferguson would not be retained as senior coach and that Kate Sheahan’s role as Executive Head of Women’s
Football would be made redundant and replaced by the elevated role of General Manager- Women’s Football,
reporting directly to the CEO.
I want to acknowledge the unwavering commitment of both Ryan and Kate. They are great football people that
built the Club’s AFLW program from the ground up and that has taken enormous energy, passion and care. We
wish them well for whatever lies ahead.
Other recommendations were made to management to address internal alignment and accountability, leadership,
list-build and communications. These will be addressed during the off-season.
Despite the difficult season on-field, congratulations must go to Monique Conti on a seventh consecutive
Richmond AFLW best and fairest. We are so blessed to have Mon as part of our Club, and we know her passion
and drive will continue to help our program going forward.
It was also terrific to see Ellie McKenzie back on the podium this season in second place. Ellie is another
supremely talented player who had a fantastic season. Congratulations to all the award winners on the night.

Eng 6/207 ..... Cummins and Lyon with 3 wickets each.
Eng need 228 runs and Aussies obviously 4 more wickets on the last day.

I stand corrected at this point in time
I've just seen 3 wickets from Lyon and am loving my humble pie.
He's just sealed the series.

Club appears to be making some sound decisions atm.
Optimistic for the next 5-10 years if we keep this going.

Stokes not bowling.
Archer looks like he can't go the distance again and again.
Need to give them at least 4 sessions to bowl then out IMO. Once the lead is 500+ we should be good if we can get it that high.
More disappointing failures from Labuschagne and Green. I'd swap them straight out for Smith and Webster.

Well done Tigers and Shane Dunne

ps. My membership package arrived today
Mine came on Wednesday
Have to say very disappointed in the cap, average quality
New supplier this year and it shows
On the positive side, the Club XIII scarf is excellent
