How did you get into football, and where and when was your first game? I have two older brothers who played football throughout their childhood and encouraged me to play as well. I played my first season at the Barossa Bulldogs in a boys modified’s football team when I was six years old. I was one of three girls in the team that year, before my other sports took over and I didn’t play footy again until I was 16 years old.

What’s your favourite football memory? Coming from behind in the last quarter to win the grand final last year is definitely up there. However, after losing a close friend in footy, the memories with my Angle Vale teammates are the ones I hold closest. 

What were you doing on draft day? I was teaching my class at school on draft day. I spoke to the students about the draft in the morning and their excitement grew throughout the day, they absolutely loved it when my name was called out!

Vegemite: yes or no and if yes how much do you use? Absolutely yes, but not too much, just enough!
