Richmond is pleased to announce it has recruited Northern Irish Gaelic talent, Ana Mulholland, to its AFLW list for the next two seasons.

The 21-year-old Antrim midfielder is known as a dynamic midfielder in GAA circles and is expected to be able to play a range of positions in the AFLW.

Richmond AFLW List and Recruiting Manager, Trent Mosbey, said that Mulholland’s speed, agility, and high running capacity were eye-catching.

“Ana’s ability to transition both ways and carry the ball impressed us,” he said.

“Her skill level and cleanliness by hand are at an advanced level, and we see scope for Ana to play multiple roles across the field.

“Ana plays a physical, combative style with her intercepting and defending, which are highly regarded in the front half in Gaelic, which are all attributes that fit the AFLW game style.

“She is also a competitive, hardworking, and determined athlete, so we are really excited to be adding her to our program.”

Ana Mulholland in action

Mulholland is no stranger to switching codes, given she was also Northern Ireland’s netball captain at the recent U/21 World Youth Cup and has played for her country at the senior level.

The Belfast product becomes the Club’s second-ever Irish AFLW player, and she will join Aoibhin Cleary on the list for next season.

Mulholland will arrive in Australia in May 2026, following the completion of her university studies, where she will soon become a PE Teacher.

Richmond has three remaining list spots for the 2026 AFLW season and holds selections 1, 38, and 53 at tonight’s Telstra AFLW Draft.

Gotta wonder if we took Buddy +/- Roughy if we'd have ended up with dusty at all and subsequently the 3 flags

And of we took Trengove or Scully instead of Dusty then we’d have ended up with none

Stopped reading at Mansell having elite goal kicking skills

I would have said you are being too cynical until I read down to the end of the next paragraph.
Seriously. From the absurd to the ridiculous.
…big sticks… 🤔

First-round fun: Sarah Black's guide to the most unpredictable AFLW draft yet

AFLW expert Sarah Black has crunched the numbers ahead of the AFLW Draft on Monday night, and this is how she sees the first round playing out

SCARLETT JOHNSON
Position: Utility
Height: 175cm
From: Victoria, Northern Knights/Eltham

A genuine draft bolter, Johnson's selling points are her athleticism and strong overhead marking. Can play across all three lines, including as a taller midfielder (for reference, she's the same height as Bri Davey) and is a noted leader. Strong Telstra AFLW Combine test results: third in the agility, ninth in the running vertical jump and 10th in the 20m sprint. U18 All-Australian at half-back, Coates Talent League Team of the Year on the wing, and Northern Knights best and fairest.

Where could she go?

Richmond appears most likely at pick one, having traded up to get access ahead of a host of clubs who were keen. Greater Western Sydney is waiting with picks two and three.




OLIVIA WOLMARANS
Position: Key forward
Height: 180cm
From: Western Australia, Subiaco/Mt Hawthorn

The top key forward in the pool. A classic old-school target, but with plenty of athleticism to add to the mix. Comes from a truly unique sporting background of heptathlon and rugby before focusing purely on footy. Booming kick, agile at ground level and Under-18 All-Australian for the past two years.

Where could she go?

Greater Western Sydney has its eyes firmly on the West Australian with pick No.2. Wouldn't look out of place at Punt Road, either.




CHLOE BOWN
Position: Midfielder
Height: 174cm
From: Victoria, Oakleigh Chargers/Kew

Bown does everything very, very well. A midfielder who can find the goals, she's a strong tackler, tenacious and a quiet accumulator. Finished fourth in the Combine's 2km time trial. Has a heaving bookshelf after an insane final season of junior footy – Under-18 All-Australian captain, Vic Metro MVP, overall MVP of the national championships, Coates Talent League B&F and Oakleigh's B&F.

Where could she go?

Was looking like a lock at pick No.1 until Richmond's change of heart. Unlikely to head to GWS, and could very well slide to Adelaide at pick No.4.

Who will Tigers take with pick 1?

Richmond targeted Pick 1 during the trade period and struck a deal with the Suns to land the coveted first selection. The Tigers rate three players above all others in the pool, but there’s a growing belief they’ll pounce on Northern Knights product Scarlett Johnson — a versatile defender/wing who put together a strong campaign for the Knights and Vic Metro. Her stocks were only boosted during the national combine, where she produced three top-10 finishes in the 20m sprint, agility test and running vertical jump.

Oakleigh Chargers star Chloe Bown and Subiaco key forward Olivia Wolmarans are the other players in Richmond’s Pick 1 mix.

Bown won just about everything possible in her draft year, dominating for the Chargers, Metro and AFLW Academy. She’s a beast around the coalface, can kick on both sides of her body and loves to hit the scoreboard. A hard-worker with a strong footy IQ, Bown has plenty of upside at the top level.

Wolmarans is the best open pool key position player, blessed with pure athleticism and strong aerial ability. She’s fast, agile and has a booming kick.
