sport news Richmond Tigers AFLW star Jess Hosking is slammed for violent message - and ... trends now Tigers AFLW star Jess Hosking has always had quite the reputation for her sense of humour, but that has fallen flat after the 26-year-old was slammed by the league for writing 'Kill B***hes' on her strapping tape. She was pictured during Richmond's 36-point semi-final loss to North Melbourne on Saturday with tape on both shoulders that was covered in messages scrawled in texta. Underneath the 'Kill B***hes' message was a reminder to 'HAVE FUN', and the league has sought an explanation from the Tigers over the explicit wording before hitting both Hosking and the club with an official warning. Richmond Tigers AFLW star Jess Hosking and her club have been issued with a 'please explain' by the league after she was seen sporting an explicit message on her strapping tape 'Kill B***hes' could be easily seen written on the 26-year-old's shoulder during the side's loss to North Melbourne on Saturday 'The AFL issued a please explain to Richmond's Jess Hosking after an inappropriate message was written on her shoulder strapping during the Richmond and North Melbourne final last weekend,' a statement from the league read. 'Hosking was extremely remorseful and deeply disappointed in her actions. 'The AFL has since accepted a letter of apology from Jess and has issued an official warning to the club and Jess regarding the offensive language,' read the statement. It's not the first time Hosking has written a violent message on her strapping tape, either. During Richmond's qualifying final loss to Brisbane on November 5, 'Smash B***hes' was written in a similar position near her shoulder. A similarly violent message could be seen on Jess Hosking's shoulder tape during the side's qualifying final against Brisbane 'Smash B***hes' could be clearly seen written on Hosking's shoulder during Richmond's prior final on November 5 The 26-year-old has often been seeing sporting messages scrawled in texta over her strapping tape, with 'I love Mildura' featuring when the side played a game against GWS in regional Victoria in round nine Bizarrely, just above it was written: 'My GF [girlfriend] looks HAF [hot as f**k] in the sun.' A previous Tigers game in Mildura saw her write 'I love Mildura', while during the side's round 10 match against Melbourne 'Gol Gol [regional Victorian town] for life' was written on her left shoulder. In a more heartwarming sentiment, Hosking also had 'CleftPals' written during one game, a nod to a charity, after she was born with a cleft lip and palate, which forced her to endure 17 hospitals and spend a lot of her childhood in and out of hospitals. Hosking joined Richmond this year after playing 30 matches for Carlton since the inaugural 2017 season, and plays alongside twin sister, Sarah. Sarah may have indeed been inspired by her sister's message, with the powerhouse midfielder seen poleaxing (legally) Kangaroos player Mia King with a brutal bump as teammate Ellie McKenzie streamed away from a centre bounce. Sarah Hosking immediately announced herself to the footy world in the opening 10 seconds of the inaugural game between Carlton and Collingwood, bulldozing over three players after the opening bounce, before laying a heavy tackle moments later. The twins grew up on the Mornington Peninsula, and are avid beachgoers and sport fanatics who played every sport - netball in particular was a strong one - they could get their hands on before turning to footy, with great results. Jess Hosking (right) plays alongside identical twin sister Sarah at the Tigers, with the pair beginning their AFLW careers together at Carlton in 2017 Jess Hosking, who hails from the Mornington Peninsula, can often be seen enjoying the beach or getting glammed up on her prolific social media page The two cheeky 26 year olds can often be seen pranking each other on social media, and are fan favourites for their uncompromising play on the field, and relatable, effervescent natures off it. Hosking recently donned a Saw mask on Halloween to scare unsuspecting teammate Monique Conti in the changeroom toilets, and last month took advantage of her sunbathing sister on multiple occasions, dousing her in a full glass of water. Richmond's season is now over after the side was comprehensively beaten in front of their home crowd on Saturday. Adelaide will look to put a week of heartbreak behind them after former 2017 premiership hero Heather Anderson took her own life on Sunday when they take on arch rivals Brisbane on Friday night. The Demons and Kangaroos will do battle in the other preliminary final on Saturday, with the winners of each game to face off in the grand final next weekend.
