Snapshot
Summary

Williamstown’s Sophia McCarthy is a key forward who kicked a goal in nine of 13 games this season despite the Seagulls struggling to tick over the wins. She might not be the most mobile player, but she is a strong contested mark, good at positioning herself at marking contests, and able to influence games through her goalkicking. Still only 20, McCarthy is a blank canvas for a club looking for a key forward for the future.

FUN FACT:

Not only did Sophia McCarthy kick a goal in nine of 13 matches, but she also took at least two marks in nine of her 13 matches.
