Welcome to Richmond!

Suspect we were only given pick 1 to pass onto the bulldogs. Worth the trade though, still 20 and proven player, better than the lottery that is the draft at the moment.

Bernardi one week.
Conti the next.

Oh, and Brancatisano.

Building a nice Italian collection.

Bella!!!

Seriously good footballer is Monique Conti
Traded for pick one is a steal, worth a heap more than that
She is a very smart tough lady on the field, totally wrapped with this signing, more than Brennan and Fredericks

We will be able to build a bloody good team around these stars. Well done RFC for taking the opportunity seriously, gives us a great chance to hit the ground running and get some real support behind our side

Very happy to have Conti as a Tiger. The team's really starting to take shape.

 

[Socrates2]

She's a very good player.

Lollingwood giving up their first 4 picks in the draft (including pick 2) for Bri Davey when we get Conti - who is better and younger - for only pick 1.

 

[mad_tiggy911]

We'll s**t the AFLW flag in IMO.

Then they'll change the rules the year after.

That’s good , to protect the existing sides from being pillaged by the expansionists hawthorn and Essendon in 2021

Sarah Black’s top 30

13. Monique Conti (Richmond)

Conti comes in at 13 with a bullet after a best-and-fairest season at the Western Bulldogs when she was just 19 years old.

The new Tiger and WNBL basketballer has elite skills and excellent spatial awareness, capable of gliding out of packs where there's seemingly no room to move.

Conti has very strong hands overhead despite her small stature and had an All Australian 2019 in the midfield after moving from half-forward.

She also has a best-on-ground medal under her belt from the Dogs' 2018 premiership triumph.

Crikey this girl is an absolute star. If it was AFL she would have cost us at least two first rounders.
If you watch her closely you can actually see how basketball has made her a better footballer.

Richmond AFLW specialist coach Nathan Chapman provides Richmond Media with an insight into star midfielder Monique Conti's football
journey and playing form.

Her impressive football resume (2018 premiership and best on ground, 2019 All Australian, 2019 Richmond VFLW Best and Fairest) at just 20 years old
"(She's) a fantastic athlete all round, she's been a pleasure to coach and be around. Watching her play every week has been amazing...For her to be in this position at 20 (years old) is amazing and a real credit to her work ethic."

First impressions
"She's an excitement machine. She's energetic, she goes about her business like a professional...from what we've had from her and her output, it's been amazing."

Committing to football in 2020
"We've seen even more development from her over the last three weeks (since she was released from her Melbourne Boomers WNBL contract). When you've got a mindset of being prepared for two sports it can probably be a bit conflicting, which she handled really well. But to see her over the last three or four weeks after moving to just football, she's just skyrocketed, it's been tremendous.

Her ability to impact games
"(She's got) fantastic skills, explosive speed...On the weekend we said to her 'if you need three or four bounces this weekend, take the game on' and she did that, she took two or three bounces along the wing, which was really exciting for us and a style that we'd like to her play. She's got great skills, her kicking is elite to her teammates, and get her in front of goals and she's awesome."

Her Round 4 performance (28 disposals, five tackles)
"What else can you ask from her, she brings her teammates into the game, she gets the ball herself...The sky's the limit for her, she's such an athlete."
