Welcome to North Claire

A few of those marks were very impressive. Welcome to North, Claire.

 

[King Corey]

Each year the recruits are looking nearer and nearer to their boy counterparts in playing style.

In the next decade we'll have sides filled with girls that have grown up playing the sport.

Respectfully, the "clunky" skills of just 2-3 years ago will be history.

Though strangely we've always been a skilful outlier. Weird yeh.

Welcome Claire. Looks like she can take a grab and good composure.

 

[Bluish]

Given the list profile, I like the rein we’ve pulled here.

 

[Roostorm]

Welcome Claire….king Corey is right…the highlights packages are getting better skills wise..
Got a nice kick and not afraid to go for the grab. Plenty to work with…exciting.

At pick #36 in the national draft, to get Claire was really good, thought she might go in the mid twenty's, so like Matt Whitlock its another huge plus for us, well done recruiting team!

Welcome Claire. Looks like she can take a grab and good composure.

A very good field kick too, but didn't see any footage of her set shot?

 

[Shermanator]

Welcome to the greatest club in the universe Crafty.

PS:BTW and FYI we hate *Essendon..

Some had her ranked just outside the top 10. Very much a bargain.

sheirlaw replacement in a couple of years

 

[Arthur Cloke]

Is she dare I say it - "crafty"????

 

[Hatchy1992]

Welcome aboard Claire! Looking forward to seeing her kick goals in the blue and white!

Looks a good highlight package! Very athletic, much like Kate.

Yeah it's interesting, looks like she's a better kick than Georgie Brisbane taken in the 1st round, who is super atheltic but pretty raw from a football skills point of view.
Looks like Claire has a decent set shot looking at longer youtube highlights of her. We may have found a good one late.

We certainly seem to be valuing versatility in our talls as well. Makes even more sense in AFLW given the 30 list spots.

thanks, I'll have a look on youtube - the clip from the club certainly shows a real footballers touch in her field kicking
