WA players represent Australia in AFL Academy Girls clash

Three West Australian players will line up for the AFL Academy Girls team when they represent Australia in a clash against an Under 23 All-Stars team at Marvel Stadium on Sunday, June 18.

East Fremantle’s Georgie Cleaver, Peel Thunder’s Kaitlyn Srhoj, and Swan Districts’ Jaime Henry will feature in the curtain-raiser to the Round 14 AFL match between North Melbourne and Western Bulldogs, with bouncedown at 11.45am AWST.

The AFL Academy Girls features a selection of the country’s most talented draft-age footballers. All players in the Academy were aged 17 as of January 1, 2023, and will be eligible for the next AFLW Draft, following the 2023 AFLW season.

The AFL Academy Girls program is designed to prepare talented young players for entry into elite football programs, with players set to take part in their third and final camp of the 2023 program in Melbourne next week.

AFL National Academy Manager, Tarkyn Lockyer, said: “We are excited to see the future stars of our game showcase their talent at Marvel Stadium.

“For the players in the AFL Academy Girls program it will be a significant honour to wear the Australia jumper and represent their country.

“The match also provides a great opportunity for those representing the All-Stars team, who have been nominated to play by AFLW clubs after impressing in the Coates Talent League and at State League level this season.”

The Under 23 All-Stars squad feature players from Victoria, Nothern Territory and Tasmania who are playing in the Coates Talent League and rebel VFLW.

How to watch: The match will be available to watch live and free on the AFL website.
