Sporno 4 Pyros make sure you listen to that pod or I’m gonna revoke your my girl status

Despite her origins in hockey, footy runs in Nanscawen's blood. The youngest Australian to register 100 and then 150 caps with the Hockeyroos, she hung up her stick at 26 and wanted a change.

So being the great-great-niece of Edward 'Carji' Greeves – the first Brownlow medallist, whose name is on Geelong men's best and fairest award – she returned to the sport in which she'd played a handful of games at school.

There, she'd been coached by none other than now-AFL executive general football manager Laura Kane, who was a couple of years ahead of Nanscawen at University High School.

Kane knew Nanscawen was back playing local footy and, working at North Melbourne at the time, recommended her as a possible cross-sport rookie signing.


ha. She's basically football royalty

It's great that they're getting good interview slots but kind of annoying as well because they're not telling us anything new. Every interview with G is asking her about her hockey career and how she got into footy... Wish they'd throw in some more interesting questions for those of us who already covered that ground a dozen times since she signed for our VFLW squad 5 years ago

I really like that podcast you put me onto about GN#5

She is a cracker of a player for her size. Knows where to go and goes hard at it. Probably the one I enjoy watching the most from our ladies.

I feel that eventually teams are going to realize how damaging she is, which might just open up more room for Maddy

Geez she was frustrating in that last quarter. Going to ground like an under 10 on a wet muddy Sunday morning. Trying to play that she didn't have the ball compounded how much (negative) influence she had in that crazy last quarter.
