Good interview with Ash. More here:

Centra plays in a deceptively laidback fashion – like many a basketballer-turned-footballer before her, she appears to have oodles of time to dispose of the ball, when in reality, it's her ability to shake clear of traffic, coupled with an unflappable nature.
If you watch the 2024 Coates Talent League best and fairest winner before a game, she's laser-focused.
Headphones are on, sitting quietly in a corner.
While many love feeding off their teammates' energy to hype themselves up before a match, she's the opposite.
"Looking back at the year, I can definitely say I'm a little bit of an introvert and have got that feedback from my teammates. But once you cross that line, all you want to do is play for the team and win. But before games, I like to keep to myself.
Centra also has a twin brother, Luca, who helped get her into footy in the first place.
"I started pretty young, I was about five or six when I started Auskick. Growing up being involved in the juniors with the boys (at College junior footy club in Sale), going all the way from Auskick to top-age 14s. I was lucky enough to have a local Sale City (youth girls) team, I think it was the second year they were playing. Then played Gippy after that," she said.
"Having a twin, I was very competitive, I always wanted to beat him, so I think that grew my love of footy.

If I’m being honest, I’m a little disappointed we didn’t pick up Zippy Fish. No idea how she plays, but with a name like that, she’d be a marketers dream.
But Ash Cetra is a solid name, I’m happy with that.

We need to make sure her personal sponsor is a certain vitamin company.
