By the Numbers: 2024 AFLW U18s
WITH the 2024 AFL Women’s Under 18 Championships done and dusted, Rookie Me Central casts its eye back on the leading stats-getters throughout the carnival. Unsurprisingly MVPs such as Sierra Grieves (Vic Metro), Sara Howley (Vic Country) and Georja Davies (Queensland) featured across multiple categories.
In the end, Georgia Knight lead the goalkicking with nine, funnily enough one of three Georgia/Georgie’s in the top four with Georgie Brisbane and Georgia McKee, while the fourth was another ‘G’ in Grace Belloni.
Pick one contender Havana Harris lead the inside 50s count, while Tasmanian Mackenzie Williams had more rebound 50s than any other player. For those keen on AFL Fantasy points, Davies and Grieves surpassed the ton on average, while India Rasheed, Lou Painter and Howley were also prominent.
