What Happens in Episode 3
With their striker out, Ted, Coach Beard, and Alice Chilton scramble for a solution. Alice suggests Gemma, a former footballer turned lawyer who quit the sport years ago — though she’s cagey about why. When Ted overhears the idea half-jokingly floated as “open tryouts,” he runs with it, and the search brings in new players, including Lizzie, a mother juggling football with raising a child.
Meanwhile, off the pitch, Rebecca faces resistance from Richmond’s shareholders, many of whom are openly skeptical about investing in a women’s team. Keeley steps in to defend the project, only to be blindsided by a leaked internal report questioning the team’s long-term sustainability. It’s a pointed subplot mirroring real-world skepticism women’s sports still face.
The Big Game
Richmond’s first friendly against Hayes & Yeading starts sluggishly, with 75 scoreless minutes testing everyone’s patience. That’s when Alice makes the call to bring on Gemma, who scores almost immediately after coming off the bench, securing the Lady Greyhounds’ first win. It’s a small moment, but one that carries real weight for a team still fighting to be taken seriously.
The episode also digs into the personal side of women’s football — balancing careers, motherhood, and old wounds — giving Season 4 some of its most grounded storytelling yet. Fans of underdog sports arcs, similar to how Richmond built its identity in earlier seasons, will find plenty to like here.
