Welcome to Essendon AFLW - Holly Ridewood (Pick 12)

Holly Ridewood (Northern Knights / Vic Metro)

The Tigers love players who can run and carry, and that is Ridewood to a tee. The Northern Knights skipper has enjoyed a fantastic year, and is now tipped to go inside the Top 25 names. She has a chance to go as high as Fremantle, but will likely land somewhere either side of the first-second round border. She will bring natural leadership, as well as versatility across the ground, testing incredibly well at the National Draft Combine.

Isn’t “Ridewood” good enough for a (nick)name ?

She might not be that way inclined.

Pumpa?

loads of tackles in that footage, good for the pressure game.

Also has decent hands, a lot of good marks there. Let’s hope she’s a straight kick for goal

Yep, I saw the first kick and thought what was that, then watched all the rest. Not sure I have ever seen such a one handed kicking style, but it seems to work.
