An Inspirational Young Fan Takes Center Stage

North Melbourne’s Good Friday SuperClash ambassador, Imogen Mulgrew, will have the honour of presenting the Premiership Cup to captain Emma Kearney and senior coach Darren Crocker if the Kangaroos triumph in the 2024 NAB AFLW Grand Final this Saturday.

A Journey of Resilience

  • Diagnosed with leukemia at age eight, Imogen recently completed a two-and-a-half-year treatment plan at the Royal Children’s Hospital.
  • Now 11 years old, she has become a familiar face at North Melbourne training sessions and games over the past year.
  • Imogen served as the junior mascot at last year’s AFLW Grand Final and tossed the coin at the 2024 Good Friday SuperClash.

Celebrating a Milestone

Earlier this month, Kangaroos players Bella Eddey and Emma King joined Imogen at the hospital as she rang the bell to celebrate the end of her treatment—a significant milestone in her journey.

Club’s Heartfelt Appreciation

North Melbourne CEO Jen Watt spoke highly of Imogen’s impact on the club:

“Imogen’s resilience, spirit, and easy-going demeanour struck a chord with our players, our football department, our staff, and footy fans far and wide this past year. Not only has Imogen’s impact been profound, she represents everything our team stands for, and we couldn’t think of a more perfect person for this role.”

Final Duty as Ambassador

  • This Grand Final will mark Imogen’s last official duty as the Good Friday SuperClash ambassador.
  • She will hand over the role to a new ambassador for the 2025 annual marquee match, which raises funds for the Royal Children’s Hospital Good Friday Appeal.
