A crafty and mobile forward with elite skills, Ryleigh Wotherspoon became one of Melbourne’s most important forwards by the end of her second AFLW season in 2025. Wotherspoon arrived at the Dees from an elite sporting background, having represented Queensland and Australia in softball, cricket, and soccer. As a train-on player for Brisbane, she was a highly sought-after prospect and was taken at pick No.12 in the 2023 AFLW Draft. With versatility, high-level fitness, and a love of physical contests, Wotherspoon has unlimited potential for development.
