The GWV Rebels are excited to announce the final squad and leadership group for the upcoming NAB League Girls season.
This year’s group will be led by Chloe Leonard along with vice-captains Magee Caris and Renee Saulitis. Lilli Condon, Isabella Hill and Ally Trigg round out the leadership group.
Head coach Rhys Cahir was rapt with the calibre of leaders who were voted in by the girls at their camp on the weekend.
“This year's leaders are an exceptional bunch, captain Chloe Leonard is an outstanding leader who wants the group to get better over herself. Vice-Captains Renee Saulitis and Maggie Caris are outstanding footballers who are in the AFL academy and lead accordingly on the field. Isabella Hill is a 19-year-old who has come in and won the respect of the group over a short period of time. Lilli Condon is a barrel of laughs who gets along well with the whole group, and Ally Trigg is an exceptional runner out on the wing and is highly respected by the girls,” he said.
This year’s squad features 15 returning players and 24 first time Rebels. There are also two 19 year-olds, 12 top age players, 17 middle age players and eight bottom age players. Cahir is pleased with the makeup of the group and is looking forward to the season ahead.
“We have a good mix of top age, middle age and bottom age girls who seem to get better and better every season and keep producing. It is getting very exciting again that the next group can step in and replace the top age girls but they are already at the standard before they begin with us,” he said.
Rebels girls co-ordinator Krista Woodroofe is also pleased with the makeup of the squad heading into 2020.
“The leadership group is made up of mostly made up of returning players, who have been part of Rebels squads for the past two seasons. There are also a couple of 19 year-olds who come into the squad as well as a few bottom age girls who have come through our V-Line Cup who are looking exciting for this season,” she said.
Woodrofe is pleased with the girls individual development and cohesiveness as a playing group at this point of the season, and is excited for the year ahead.
“We definitely feel we have picked our best squad given that normally we would only have the squad at 35 but there were four or five girls we couldn’t distinguish from each other so we opened up to 39 players just to allow more girls to get the opportunity to be part of the squad. We’re really pleased with our top end talent as well, we think they will provide good leadership over the course of the season.”
