Snapshot
Summary

SNAPSHOT:

Sarah Grunden is a draft bolter off the back of a strong 2023 season, where her draftable traits came to the fore. Though she had some ups and downs in terms of production – which ebbed and flowed with Calder and Metro’s success – her natural footballing ability combined with her offensive and defensive traits have shown more than enough that she can impress at the top level.

SUMMARY:

Sarah Grunden is a player who will likely find a home somewhere in the first two rounds of the AFLW Draft. Clubs can see the long-term picture that she offers with her mix of offensive and defensive traits, and while the consistency can waver, her impact with ball-in-hand is very high.
