PROFILE:

Natasha Entwistle has carved out a consistent and ultra-reliable state league career in her first few seasons, becoming a mainstay in the East Fremantle defence. A highly competitive player who applies copious amounts of defensive pressure both in the air and at ground level, Entwistle is a team-first back. She can play negating roles as well as offensive ones, providing rebound from the defensive 50.

With ball in hand, Entwistle has a good kicking technique though her precision is a way to further improve, with her short kicking and ability to switch when required both reliable. Over longer distances is where that precision element could develop, as could her endurance enabling her to impact more for longer.

Her clean hands in the air whether she is up against taller opponents or smaller ones stand out, and she is strong at ground level too. her defensive attributes are what set her apart, spoiling and tackling with fierce intensity never making life easy for her opponents. Furthermore, Entwistle moves well and can provide some run-and-carry in transition.

DRAFT RANGE: 40-60
