Meet our Round Fourteen Women’s Rising Star Nominee, Emily-Summer Hawes, UNSW-ES Bulldogs
Player Profile:
Name: Emily-Summer Hawes
Nickname: Em
AFL Sydney Club: UNSW-ES Bulldogs
Position: Midfield/ Forward
What is one thing that we don’t know about this Rising Star that they are well known for around the club?
Em has drawn attention from those around the club for her elite foot skills and overhead marking
What role do you play for the club(s) both on and off the field?
Em has been incredible for us in her first year of senior football. She is already a leader for us which is awesome considering her age.
Reason for nomination this round:
Em was very good again on the weekend, she’s in really good form being named in the best the past 3 weeks. Found a lot of the ball, hit the scoreboard and used it well as she always does.
Coach quote on Performance:
Em was great again last week. She gets a lot of the ball, has elite kicking and is very strong overhead, she took some massive grabs for us on the weekend when we had our backs to the wall. She’s transitioned from junior footy to senior footy seamlessly. I’m excited to see what she can become.
