From the Oakleigh Chargers - another midfielder. A real ball magnet.

“A competitive onballer who thrives on the inside with a high running capacity and elite defensive pressure, while being able to go forward and impact the scoreboard.”

 

She seems to be an excellent choice but may need some curing of the following ailment, recorded earlier this year:

Q: Which AFL club do you support?

MM: “I go for Collingwood, so last year was a good year. Loved that.”

Has played in the VFLW for the Pies.

Todd Patterson describes her as, amongst other more obviously upside traits, 'really low to the ground'.

No chopping out in the ruck, then...

All that time wasted wishing we were taller, when low to the ground is where it's at.

The ball does often end up there... hopefully from the other team fumbling it, more than from us, of course.

Supports Collingwood apparently. Can't get any lower than that. 

Maggie mahoney and Molly Ohaire.

Are we selecting players for a football team or a Clannad cover band?

Maggie Mahony. Plays like … Eliza West.  Strong contested ball winner.  Nothing stylish. Nothing flashy.  Hard worker.

I thin she's a better kick 'Dees', not a great one but a bit better and she's both left and right.

Welcome aboard Maggie.

Absolutely, I meant that more positively than it came out!
