I’ve always had a massive passion for AFL, growing up in a Collingwood obsessed household it was hard to avoid AFL!. I started playing AFL in 2002 when my school started up a girls team, I absolutely loved it and haven’t stopped!
Everything! The physicality of it, the friends you make, the blood sweat and tears and seeing all the hard work you put in pay off when you have a win.
Collingwood!
