Always tapes her right ankle before her left and put right boot on before left. Must smash a Narnie (Banana) post warm up before running out for the game.
Nomination Details
Reason for nomination this round:
Backing up a super debut season in 2020 as an U17 Georgie is ready to take her game to another level in 2021 after over coming a tough off season recovering from stress fractures in the back and missing the whole academy series with the Swans Academy.
Coach quote on Performance:
“Georgie was back to her best against the reigning premiers after being managed through half a game in round 1 off the back of a very limited pre-season due to her back injury. Georgie’s strength and power off the mark allowed her take advantage of a strong team performance and kick 3 goals. Only three weeks back into training and games post injury she will be a scary prospect when fully fit.” Ash Moeller, Head Coach
