AFTER more than a month of player movement, lists for the 2023 AFLW season are essentially complete.  

AFL Media takes a look at how the Tigers are shaping up.

New additions:

• Caitlin Greiser (traded from St Kilda) 
• Courtney Jones (traded from Gold Coast) 
• Molly Eastman (traded from Sydney) 
• Shelby Knoll (draft) 

This recruitment period has been all about rebuilding the forward line for Richmond, and it has done so rather efficiently. 

Courtney Wakefield retired at the end of season seven, and prior to the season even beginning the club bid goodbye to Tayla Stahl, so adding options in attack was vital. Bringing in power forward Caitlin Greiser from St Kilda was the first big win, followed by mid-sized goalkicker Courtney Jones. 

The pair will help alleviate the reliance on Katie Brennan as Stella Reid continues to settle into AFLW level. And the attacking line was capped off with draftee Shelby Knoll, a contested marking tall forward who knows where the goals are.

Molly Eastman was the icing on the cake for the Tigers, opting to move back to Victoria to complete her university studies. She will seamlessly fit into the relentless Richmond background and offer plenty of rebound alongside Katelyn Cox and Eilish Sheerin. 

With these additions, it looks unlikely that Richmond will go backwards on its successes of last season, finding some real balance at either end of the ground.
