Much has been said about her switch to AFL this season. She’s an incredible athlete that has brought consistency, professionalism and great leadership to the Sharks in season 2015.

She’s a star and let’s put the question out there, has she had the greatest debut season in VWFL history?

* Pick #1 in the 2015 AFL mini-draft (Western Bulldogs)

* 2015 Victorian State Representative

* She’s been named in the best players in seven of the eight games she’s played for the Sharks this season and in the 8th game, she left the field injured.
