Eastern Allies announce final squad for AFLW U18 Championships
THE Eastern Allies squad for next month’s AFL Women’s Under 18 Championships has been announced with 17 of the 24 players from New South Wales/Australian Capital Territory (NSW-ACT) and the remaining seven players from Tasmania. Last year the Eastern Allies won on the opening day at Metricon Stadium against the Central Allies, before going down to Western Australia and Queensland the following two days. The 2019 fixture pits them against the Central Allies and both Victorian sides.
In 2019, a number of faces from last year’s campaign will feature again, including NSW/ACT’s Georgia Garnett and Lillian Doyle who were exciting in the forward half, as well as Tasmania’s Mia King and Camilla Taylor. The Eastern Allies midfield will be quite strong with King joined in the middle by the likes of Abby Favell and Hannah Stewart who impressed for Murray Bushrangers and Bendigo Pioneers respectively in the NAB League Girls competition this year. The squad also has two bottom-agers in there with Amy Prokopiec and Charlie Lovell both impressing for Tasmania and making it into the final 24-player squad.
The first game for the Eastern Allies kicks off on Monday, July 8 at Metricon Stadium where AFL Draft Central will be there to cover it.
