Richmond selected pacy midfielder/defender Bacon with its first selection, No. 13 overall, at the 2023 AFLW Draft.
Bacon only began focussing purely on football in 2022 but was quick to stand out to Richmond recruiters with her elite athleticism, explosive speed, endurance, sidestep, power, and strength.
Bacon missed her debut season’s opening match through illness, but has featured in every game since, growing into her career by playing a role in the Tigers’ defence and midfield.
Bacon averaged eight disposals in 2025, up from 4.4 in 2024 and is bound for further improvement in 2026. The youngster can also be deployed as a lockdown player and has done so to good effect.
