EAST Perth young gun Lucy Greenwood<\/a> is a promising prospect who always looked dangerous when out there for the Royals, and translated her goal-scoring prowess to the West Australian side. Capable of playing inside 50, on-ball or off a wing, the top-ager is a high-upside talent who adds a point of difference to any side with her strengths.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q: Lucy, tell us a bit about your football journey?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

LG:\u00a0<\/strong>“I started Auskick when I was like very, very young and then one of my mates got me into community football at Coolbinia. Did a couple of years there until I was the age to move out to East Perth and have been there ever since so it’s pretty good.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q: Coming into the state programs as well, what’s that been like?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q: What do you see as the strengths in your game?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

LG: <\/strong>“Game sense, footy IQ, and then just like kicking, marking, just the basic skills.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q: What are you looking to improve on at the moment?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

LG:<\/strong>\u00a0“Definitely endurance. All the coaches are trying to get me better at running for distance, so that is one.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q: What AFL\/W club do you support?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

LG: <\/strong>“Collingwood.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q: What’s the story behind that?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

LG:<\/strong>\u00a0“Just family. All my family supported it, so I just jumped on the bandwagon. They’re both from Victoria.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q: Are there any players at the top level you look up to or model your game on?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

LG<\/strong>:\u00a0“Probably on the male side,\u00a0Bobby Hill<\/strong>\u00a0because I definitely think my game is around him more.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q: Who’s had the most individual influence on your career?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

LG:<\/strong> “My mum and dad. They’re my biggest supporters so I’d have to say them.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q: National Draft, have you had much thought about potentially moving interstate?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

LG:\u00a0<\/strong>“I’m happy to go wherever. Getting drafted is everyone’s dream so anywhere would be an absolutely a privilege to move to.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q: Last year you predominantly did play forward but did get some wing and even mid, where do you see. yourself playing this year?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

LG:<\/strong>\u00a0“The coaches have said more midfield time, but definitely happy to go forward again.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q: What goals have you set yourself for this year?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

LG:<\/strong> “Just to do my best to be honest. Obviously to get drafted is the number one goal, so just play good footy.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
