GWS Giants and Sydney Swans have named their squads ahead of the 2018 Youth Girls Northern Academy Series starting tonight. The three-day event will see the four northern AFL clubs – Brisbane, Gold Coast, GWS and Sydney – battle it out in a round robin fixture at CEX Coffs International Stadium. The competition serves as a way for AFL NSW\/ACT to pick a final state squad to face Tasmania in early June.<\/p>\n

Talking to AFL NSW\/ACT website<\/a>, head coach Alicia Eva<\/strong> said she was looking forward to the competition and showcasing the best NSW\/ACT talent.<\/p>\n

“This weekend provides an opportunity for the girls to come together for the fourth time \u2013 albeit in two teams \u2013 and test themselves against the best talent in Queensland,\u201d says Eva. \u201cFrom camp one in Sydney to camp three in Canberra, we saw how much the girls have developed in such a short period of time, so this Northern Academy Series is the next step up. \u201cWe will be selecting the state squad from these games. Hopefully that is a tough task, because if it is, it means the girls are putting in the work and we as coaches are doing our jobs.\u201d<\/p>\n

NSW\/ACT assistant coaches Rachel Terlich<\/strong> and Nicola Barr<\/strong> will coach the GWS Giants and Sydney Swans respectively in the tournament. Eva has nominated trio Zoe Hurrell<\/strong>, Brea Quinlivan<\/strong> and Breeana<\/strong> Tarrant<\/strong> as some of the players to watch, while Murray Bushrangers’ in-form defender Eloise Ashley-Cooper<\/strong> will represent GWS in the series.<\/p>\n
