The Noosa Tigers all conquering Senior Women have just announced a new five girl leadership group under new coach Tony ’Tunza’ Brennan.
This years Captain will be multiple Premiership player and live wire half forward Kellie Barker.
Her attack on the footy and her leadership qualities can never be questioned making her a popular choice as skipper.
Eliza ’Chip’ Trompf and Amelia Monk were named joint Vice captains. Eliza of course a four time Premiership player at the Tigers and a Senior Best and Fairest winner.
Her versatility at either end of the ground or in the ruck has been a huge reason behind the Tigers recent success not to mention her attack on the footy and opposition.
Amelia Monk has played in three Premierships at Noosa and is just the general across Half Back. She reads the play well and has superb foot skills. Her larger than life personality makes her a fantastic choice to the leadership group.
Our Deputy vice captains are Courtney Dial and Erin McLaughlin. Both Premiership players with the Tigers with Dial just an energiser either down back or in attack. Her attack on the ball is awesome to watch and her selfless efforts continue to lift her team mates. She had a blinder in last years Grand Final.
McLaughlin made a fantastic transition into Aussie Rules with the tall American a key reason why the Tiger girls not only triumphed but we’re unbeaten in 2023. Her ruck work was sublime and she was also more than handy when resting up forward.Erin’s announcement into the leadership group is so well deserved.
And then last but not least there’s Tony ’Tunza’ Brennan whose coaching thus far has the girls up and about and approaching the Division One jump with plenty of vigour. Tunza has concentrated heaps around winning the contested ball as well as making correct decisions with the ball in hand. Numbers on the track have been great which is testament to the work and vision Tunza brings!
The Senior Women play the highly fancied Cooparoo in their final practice game at Rococo oval next Saturday 23 March from 4pm.
All welcome, so get down and support our Noosa Tigers Women.
Go Tigers!
