Summary
SNAPSHOT:
Sophia de Castella is a powerful inside midfielder with a strong defensive game and room to grow for the future. The daughter of world champion marathon runner Robert de Castella, it should come as no surprise that the GWS Giants Academy member and Allies representative is a hard runner who pushes herself from contest to contest. Still developing fundamentals in her game, de Castella showed enough for clubs this year to earn an AFLW Draft Combine invite.
SUMMARY:
In preseason, de Castella’s preference was to stay in her home state, and though travel is inevitable coming from Canberra, an ideal spot would be following the Giants from the Academy to AFLW level. If de Castella does miss out on being drafted, she would be a perfect candidate to be an over-ager next season and have another preseason under the belt with fundamental learnings.
