Hicks was a first-round pick (No. 5 overall) at the 2017 AFLW Draft and boasts 40 matches of AFLW experience. A skilful player, with high football IQ, poise, and composure with ball in hand- Hicks can both set the game up from defence or lock down on a forward. The 26-year-old arrives for her first year at Richmond in career best form, having not missed a game in the past two seasons and finishing fourth in the Giants’ Season 7 best and fairest. Playing as a defender Hicks has averaged 12 disposals, 3.8 tackles and 196.5 metres across the past two-years. Away from football, Hicks is a talented cricketer and spent four years with the Sydney Sixers in the Women’s Big Bash League.
