Nepotism rules! (kidding...welcome Beth!) Thought she was handy in the praccy match - will get better as she gets more familiar with systems and voices - to use a Jackism.... she doesn't often get where the ball ain't. I like that!

Welcome to Tigerland Bethany


Lynch elevated to AFLW primary list
Richmond has made a change to its AFLW list ahead of the 2022 NAB AFL Women’s season.



Athletic defender Bethany Lynch will join the Tigers for the 2022 NAB AFL Women’s season.

Lynch, who played eight games for North Melbourne across three seasons, has been added to the primary list following the movement of Iilish Ross to the Club’s inactive list.

Ross sustained a bone stress injury to her lower leg during the pre-season that is not expected to recover in time for the upcoming season that commences on January 7.

The 22-year-old former first-round selection missed most of her debut season at the Tigers in 2020 through injury but played every game in 2021 as a reliable small defender.

“We are very disappointed for Iilish, who has worked hard to overcome injury issues during her almost three years at the Club,” said Richmond Head of Women’s Football, Kate Sheahan.

“Based on the injuries timeline and Iilish’s history, we have made the decision together with her and our medical team to give the issue time to recover without the pressure of setting a return date for this AFLW season.

Bethany Lynch will replace Iilish Ross at Richmond for the 2022 AFLW season after the former first-round pick suffered a bone stress injury in her leg.
Bethany, 24, was previously at North Melbourne after being picked up in the 2018 AFLW rookie draft and has been a member of the Tigers' VFLW program.
"We know that Beth will be able to slot in seamlessly. She was terrific in our practice match against Geelong and has prior AFLW experience," Richmond's women's football boss Kate Sheahan said.
"It is great to be able to bring Beth back home to Richmond and very special to have her and Tom playing at the elite level at the same club.

"Beth has worked very hard to get herself back onto an AFLW list and is fully deserving of another chance, which we are thrilled to be able to give her."

Siblings are becoming more common across the men's and women's leagues, with this year's No.1 AFLW draft pick Charlie Rowbottom the sister of Sydney Swans AFL midfielder James.

Great offer Marcel - go right ahead if you have the where-with-all - I'm sure the Club will be all ears and work around it sensibly somehow

real shame about Iilish Ross & her season ending injury
that's 2 seasons ruined with bad injuries, thought she played reasonably well last year, hope she gets better soon

Lynch played well in the praccy match, got a bit of the ball, but disposal let her down a bit
will improve with more time with our players, stars have aligned for her to be back at the greatest club in the world with her brother Tom
go well Bethany

Haha blame me.

Think the picture is perfect.

Tom has tuned out and Bethany looks to be daydreaming being somewhere else while mum does all the talking.

I reckon she IS the most improves on the list. When she started she was lost, turned it over frequently and easily psuhed aside. Now she is a terrific player who attacks the ball hard, defends well and is a tidy kick.
