Tiarne Cavanagh
Recruited from: Rugby
Height: 162cm
DOB: 7/08/1997 (24)
Coach Scott Gowans said:
“We were attracted to Tiarne’s athleticism – she runs a 19-plus in the Yo-Yo Endurance Test, which is elite. To put it in perspective, most of the top AFLW players run around 18.
“Obviously coming from a rugby background she still needs to learn the game, but we believe she has great foundations in her athleticism and skill to be a successful AFLW player. It’s easier to develop skill than it is to develop athleticism.
“I believe Tiarne will be more of a midfielder-wing type of player. In the small sample size we’ve seen in her training, she puts the ball under the arm and just goes. She’s an athlete who breaks lines incredibly well and takes the game on really hard.”
