Chloe Bown, I was pretty much sold last year when she only played 1 game repping Vic Metro, the better bottom agers usually play multiple games, and you see how they go against the players in the draft class above and that’s where you see the standouts that raise eyebrows when you have to be told that they’re bottom age.
Was disappointing she didn’t play more games as was a BOG Candidate but hard to feature in a midfield that had Greaves, Poustie and forwards like McDonald and Brisbane. Importantly she backed it up this year, I didn’t think she dominated as much at Nats this year, but still a clear standout against her peers and had showed last year she can play up a level,
It’s a shame they don’t get to play against the woman at some stage as some highly fancied at the top end of this draft I feel AFLW is a big step up, but not worried about that with Bown she’s well equipped to handle that and still has plenty of growth which is exciting.
