Ten NAB League Girls players have been named in the 2019
NAB AFL Women’s Under-18 All Australian Team.
Unbeaten AFLW Under-18 Championship team Vic Metro
contributed four members to the side while six players came
from Vic Country’s ranks, including GWV Rebels NAB league
Captain, Sophie Molan
Sophie had an outstanding NAB AFLW National Under-18
Championship as a Medium midfielder with a strong overhead
mark who can recover and win it at ground level. A very good
finisher who averaged 16 disposals, 10 contested, 2.8
clearances and 5.2 tackles a game throughout
Championships.
AFL Head of Women’s Football Nicole Livingstone said it is
exciting times for the AFLW, with expansion meaning another
120 places are available for talented female players from
across Australia at the elite level.
“The 2019 NAB AFLW Under-18 Championships saw the
country’s best young female talent displaying their skills for
club recruiters, including representatives from the four
expansion teams – West Coast Eagles, Gold Coast Suns,
Richmond and St Kilda,” Livingstone said.
“ I am excited to see what the next generation of players will
be able to bring to the elite competition.”
Molan’s week just gets better as she has just been selected to
debut this Saturday VFLW game for the Western Bulldogs to
be played on MARS Stadium at 2pm.
GWV Rebels NAB league Player, Ella Wood will also debut
for the Bulldogs which is also a great result.
