Gabby Collingwood
Gabby Collingwood’s Rookie selection for the Brisbane Lions is a dream come true for the footy fan.
Collingwood is resilient well beyond her 18 years after overcoming a serious medical condition in her childhood. None other than Brisbane Lions’ great and three-time premiership player Jonathan Brown visited her and her family in hospital.
She started playing AFL when she was 12, alongside the boys at the Jindalee Jags.
Now playing for the University of Queensland in the QWAFL competition, Collingwood can be found in the midfield or at half forward. She is clean and clever by both foot and hand and is a manager around stoppages. She is exceptional at reading the play and makes good decisions when under pressure in heavy traffic.
Collingwood starred for Queensland at the under 18 National Championships earlier this year.
