Not only has she been head and shoulders above all the other women in the first 3 years of the AFLW she's set a standard for all aspiring young female footballers to reach for and that can only be good for the code going forward. She's proven to be a quality leader, humble in her acceptance speeches and a role model for all young girls to look up to.
Congratulations must go her way.
Add to all that her basketball achievements, she really is an outstanding athlete.
