IN an upcoming series, Rookie Me Central will be ramping up its South Australian National Football League (SANFL) Women’s coverage ahead of the opening bounce on February 17. While there are plenty of features already online, and many more to come, we also take a look at some of the terrific young talent across the board in the league.
With both an Overage and AFLW Draft coming this year, there are more chances than ever for players to step up to the elite level. In the 23 Under 23 to Watch in 2023 series, we countdown 23 players to keep an eye on throughout the 2023 SANFL Women’s season. With all eight clubs representative in our countdown we narrowed the filters to the following:
- Born 01/01/2000 or after (ie are Under 23 at the start of the year)
- Are not currently on, or have previously been on an AFL Women’s list
- Must have played at least one SANFL Women’s game, therefore will only include those born 2006 or before
- Have not included players who are known to be injured for the season
The countdown starts this Wednesday, January 4, and will reveal one name each day up until Friday, February 3 where our top under 23 player will be named. Following the countdown, Rookie Me Central will be chatting to each of the eight coaches about their team’s chances in season 2023, then preparing for a massive Round 1 kickoff with daily content throughout the season.
Keep an eye out from Wednesday, when the first of the 23 names are revealed as we name just a few of the talented young guns in the SANFL Women’s competition.
