She is playing for Brisbane this week and is a gun key forward who will most likely be taken as 1 of the 2 marquee players allowed as mentioned above.
Also shows us that Gold Coast won't get a team.
The name your looking for is Taylah Harris.
Featured in the three of the last four Melbourne Vs Doggies games.
Takes some spectacular marks. Have a look around YouTube.
There are some seriously good players out there.
Mo Hope (gun fwd), Katie Brennan (gun), Donnellan (ex-Vic girl in WA), Bentley (WA girl), Daisy Pearce (champion), Mel Hickey (def), Emily Blackburn (mid), Emma Kearney (mid), Darcy Verscio (who is working at CFC) to name a few.
Setup correctly with drafting etc... you'll see some great football being played.
AFL's priority is to try to get an even competition to start with.
And from where they are starting and planning it should be done.
The talent depth will fall away initially but given the number of females playing footy at all levels the next 4 to 5 years will see a very good competition in place.
Should be great to watch it develop.
