Nomination Details

Reason for nomination this round:

Amelie returned for her first game of the season in Round 10 after severely breaking her arm in her final Talent League game at the beginning of April. Amelie has slotted straight into the Premier Division side demonstrating her talent in her first three games back and being named in the best players in Rd 10 and 11.

Amelie is still only 16 years of age and only playing in her 4th Premier Division game in Rd 12 and has added significant run and carry to our side.

Coach quote on Performance:

It has been a huge asset to have Amelie and her running power back in the Premier Division team. In a tough contested game of footy against a quality Manly team her ability to hold space and provide run on the outside contributed hugely to a great win. Her poise with the ball in hand for such a young talent is a sign of the exciting future she has in the game.
