Richmond have launched an audacious bid to lure Western Bulldogs co-captain Katie Brennan to Punt Road for the 2020 AFLW season.

And it emerged on Wednesday that North Melbourne would not offer former Magpie marquee Moana Hope a contract for next season.

Hope kicked eight goals in seven games for the Roos in 2019, however the club decided to head in a different direction. It leaves Hope, 31, in limbo as she weighs up her options for next season.

The Tigers, along with fellow expansion clubs St Kilda, West Coast and Gold Coast, presented to the AFL with lists of their player targets ahead of their entry into the national women’s competition next year.
