Bid now to secure your piece of Richmond AFLW S8 Dreamtime history. The artwork on the guernsey is designed by Stephanie Williams #26 as told in her story below.

The weaving inside the Yellow sash of this jumper was designed by my mother, Larrakia artist and weaver Lorraine Williams. She learned her weaving technique through her elders and observation she has made since she was a young child, and has since passed to future generations. The inclusion of this weaving represents the coming together of our Richmond team and broader staff through our strong connection with each other and the combination of our life stories to who we are.

It's pattern remains unfinished at the bottom of the sash, representing the continuance of our Richmond AFLW story.

A yarn stick, which women commonly used in Indigenous culture, particularly our saltwater people who would dig for shellfish, is depicted on the jumper under the sash to represent women on our team who have dug deep to play the game. I reflected on our women athletes' sacrifices to juggle roles outside of football while still performing to the best of their ability when including this element on the jumper.

The two hand prints on the jumper are of myself as our first-ever Indigenous AFLW player and of Katie Brennan, our captain and Richmond's inaugural AFLW player. The handprint spray technique used to place these hands on the jumper is from my grandmother's country in Western Arnhem Land. It represents our mark on the Richmond Football Club and the Club's Women's football journey.
