BIG V 2019 - WOMEN'S TEAM
Once again led by super coach Warren Taylor, this year we give a huge welcome to the experienced Simon Leibelt who joins us as Warrens assistant in a great coup for the club.
It is a slightly different focus for the girls this season. After two years of carrying the weight of The Jungle on their shoulders with anticipation of the ultimate success, it is a bit of a different approach for the ladies this season. It shows with a far more relaxed and enjoyable vibe around the team and at training. However this still is Waz, and still is ‘this’ team, so we know come game day it will be well and truly on and the Ladies will represent us with the same exemplar attitude and effort they have become renowned for in the league.
Joining us in 2019 are the super experienced pair of Rebecca Romeo (4 time Championship winner and captained Vic Metro All Stars in 2017) and Carly Simons (250+ games and multiple All Star Five recipient). Surrounding them are the ever-familiar faces of Wallan stalwarts Gemma Jackson, Jayda Hunter, Sarah Scott, Megan and Karina Marasco, Sage Dickinson and last years MVP Alex Darby.
We welcome some fresh faces to follow in Savannah Blyth, Sarah Wakefield and the more familiar (but new to this squad) Maddison Delbridge and Amber Ross who are involved in our junior rep program.
Expect the Womens team to be super competitive again and fighting hard at the pointy end of the season.
