Ed Richards

A speedy half-back from the Oakleigh Chargers, Richards was drafted with Pick 16 in the 2017 National Draft. With Collingwood greats Ron and Lou Richards in his family tree, Richards' footy pedigree is hard to ignore, with his use of the football and his ability to break lines a key aspect of his game. Made the move to the midfield in 2024 out of necessity and did not put a foot wrong: averaging 21.4 disposals, 4.6 marks and 3.9 clearances.

Honours

- All Australian (2025)
- Tony Liberatore Most Improved Player Award (Western Bulldogs - 2022)
- NAB AFL Rising Star Nominee (Western Bulldogs - 2018)
