Ash Richards is quickly becoming one of the most exciting players in the AFLW, and it's very clear to see why.

The Saints' 2023 Best Emerging Player has shown freakish ability to compete in the air and reel in marks not many others can, which has been a standout of her most recent campaigns, especially when serving as a link between midfield and offence.

Richards' ability to bob up and impact on the scoreboard has given the Saints an incredible boost in their bid to play finals football for the first time, where she will play an integral part.

Richards averaged career-highs in disposals, marks, tackles and goals per game in 2024, as she now looks to take the next step up and announce herself as a star of the competition.
