Richmond Women’s recruit Sabrina Frederick will make her Yellow and Black debut this Saturday when the VFLW Tigers take on the Western Bulldogs at VU Whitten Oval.

A dual AFLW All-Australian and two-time Grand Finalist with the Brisbane Lions, the forward/ruck star will give the Tigers an injection of experience in their Round 9 clash.

In her first-ever VFLW game, the 22-year-old will showcase her craft in the forward line, where she’s known for her strong contested marking.

Speaking on Richmond Media’s Our Stripes podcast, Frederick said her pre-game nerves were overridden by overwhelming excitement.

“I’m a little bit nervous, it’s been a while since I played in a different guernsey and a different environment,” she said.

“I think it will be a lot of fun and I’m really excited, I just want to get out there and play.”
