“She’s a booming kick, kicks left and right, kicked multiple goals from outside 50 this year, which is very rare in women’s footy,” Eastern Devils coach Brendan Major said.

“From a blueprint standpoint, she is pretty much the prototype footballer that you want — moves well, big body, uses both sides and doesn’t have that many bad habits.”

Fascinating stuff, women's footy. An international recruit who first played AFL in the UK! The competition keeps serving up surprises, and there's so much to anticipate for the second season. Cant wait for the games to start.
