WAFL Women’s Player Focus: Olivia Crane (Subiaco)
HAVING a debut performance to remember, double bottom-ager Olivia Crane became our first WAFL Women’s Player Focus for 2023. The 2007-born Crane played in defence and was outstanding both in the air and at ground level, possessing a number of impressive draftable qualities already despite having three years left in the system until being draft-eligible.
