DOB: 3/8/2001
AGE: 20
POSITION: General Defender
HEIGHT: 172cm
DRAFTED FROM: Claremont
Madeleine Scanlon is a running half back who has shown huge improvement this year for Claremont in the WAFLW.
She didn’t start playing footy until she was 18, so it is expected she has plenty of scope to improve further.
She averaged 15.6 disposals, 3.4 marks and two tackles per game in the WAFLW this season.
She had one of her season-best performances in week one of the WAFLW finals with 27 disposals, five marks and five tackles against East Fremantle. The two teams will go head to head again this Saturday at Claremont Oval.
Trent Cooper’s comments
“Madi was late to football and came through the West Coast amateurs before joining Claremont in a similar pathway to Jess Low.
“She has had an outstanding season this year, both in the midfield and running off half back.
