THERE’S no shortage of talent in the AFLW competition, but there’s no shortage of personality either.
As we wrapped up the 2024 AFLW season, AFL.com.au posed some curly questions to a handful of the competition’s best players.
Next up is Richmond defender Beth Lynch, who’s known for her hard tackling and athleticism.
From her best life lesson to a little-known fact about herself, some of the answers did surprise us.
But there’s more to Beth than her footy ability.
