Reason for nomination this round:
“The transition from U18’s two years ago into Div 1 & now into Premier Division has been seamless for Chloe.”
Coach quote on Performance:
“Chloe is at her best coming out of the backline with her ability to hit targets, evading the opposition to deliver the football to her teammates. Chloe is also a sneaky forward when she’s down there and loves a goal when she gets the chance. When playing the middle, she reads the ball and the play exceptionally well which provides great structure to the mids. Chloe consistently works hard across all 4 quarters.”
