Cox rounds out Richmond's draft crop​

Richmond has used its final selection in the 2022 NAB AFLW Draft, pick no. 60, to select Hawthorn VFLW utility Katelyn Cox.

The quick small defender, was added to North Melbourne's AFLW list as a forward/midfielder in 2021 as a replacement player, but unfortunately didn't play due to a quad injury.
She then moved to Hawthorn VFLW for a fresh opportunity and has flourished in a new role as an attacking small defender.
Richmond AFLW Recruiting Manager Trent Moseby said the Tigers saw Cox playing in the Yellow and Black at both ends of the ground.
"Katelyn has explosive speed, a neat kick and displays a high level of football IQ.
She works hard both ways and is clean with her ground balls," Moseby said.
"She has played at multiple clubs with players on our list, including the Hosking twins at Seaford VFLW and Carlton VFLW (where she was Vice Captain), Meg MacDonald at Seaford VFLW, and North Melbourne VFLW/AFLW with Meagan Kiely and Beth Lynch.
"She is highly determined and motivated for an AFLW career, having overcome multiple challenges."

I met Katelyns sister in the lift this morning. She’s my neighbor so I’ll be following her keenly this season

Wasn't awful but did not affect very much. Had Prespakis early on when she was forward and did OK holding her. Watched her trying shore it up behind the ball and it worked a couple of times but the pace of the game found her out today - as it did for quite a few. Work in progress.

Perhaps I’m being harsh, but she looked tiny out there compared to other players. Not sure her build is going to be able to cope with the game

Yea that’s why I think millzy struggles too , most of the W players are pretty solid units , if jockey size , will be easily pushed aside
