Welcome aboard Sarge.

Sargent was named in the forward pocket in the RMC NAB League Girls Team of the Year last week - averaged 2.1 goals, 3.4 tackles per game.

NAB League Girls is the girls equivalent of the old TAC Cup (which is now known rather obviously as "NAB League Boys"). It is the premier U19s competition in Victoria.

Caitlin Sargent (Western Jets)​

A no brainer for the Team of the Year, Sargent lead all-comers by season’s end in the goalkicking, sharing the award initially with Murray’s Mindy Quade on 17 after the regular season, then kicked four more in finals to finish on 21. She was a force to be reckoned with inside Western’s forward 50, making a couple of Team of the Week’s, but kicking goals in all bar one game. Sargent averaged 9.2 disposals, 2.9 marks, 3.4 tackles and 1.9 inside 50s, and 2.1 goals per game as well.

2022 RM Central NAB League Girls Team of the Year

The 2022 RM Central NAB League Girls Team of the Year is in, with Western Jets having four players and Goldsworthy and Baskaran co-captains.

So we have two tall forwards (Toogood and Sargent), a mid-forward (Gee) and two mids (Prespakis and Nanscawen) so far.

Sargent is an Open Age category signing, so we're safe to make a thread for her (which I have by moving a couple of posts from our AFLW list thread). No need to wait for a trade that might fall through.


Welcome!

Looks like they're going to dripfeed the number reveals through social media... so to kick that off, Sarge will be wearing number 1.

Not offered a contract... thought it was sort of odd when she was the first player we signed, gave her the #1 jumper and then never gave her a game
