Summary
Matilda Scholz is a highly talented ruck with outstanding athleticism, great mobility and high upside for the future. She is easily able to step straight up to the elite level, having played a full season with Glenelg in the SANFL Women’s last year.
Though Scholz had an interrupted preseason in 2023 due to wrist and hamstring injuries, the 187cm talent returned to the lineup for Round 2, and starred as Glenelg got up over the Eagles.
Despite being underdone from a match fitness perspective and spending more time up forward and having plenty of rests, Scholz was still able to make her mark, particularly around the stoppages. Though not kicking a goal when forward, Scholz competed well each time, and often paved the way for others to impact on the scoreboard.
Clean below her knees and able to move like a midfielder at times, Scholz is a ruck of the future, in the present. The clear best ruck in the 2023 AFLW Draft pool, it made sense for Port Adelaide to select Scholz, who can come straight in and impact at AFLW level, with the teenager to have an even greater influence once she has got to work on her improvements. Without a doubt, the young gun is ready to make her mark on the big stage.
