DOB: 6/3/2004
AGE: 18
POSITION: General Forward
HEIGHT: 169cm
DRAFTED FROM: Calder Cannons
Tahlia Read is a general forward drafted out of Victoria from the Calder Cannons.
She is good overhead and clean on the ground and is a great character who is eager to work on the aspects of her game she needs to thrive at AFLW level.
She averaged 17.2 disposals from nine NAB League games this season, as well as three marks and five tackles.
Trent Cooper’s Comments
“Tahlia won the fairest and best for the Calder Cannons in the NAB League in Victoria this year.
“She was born in WA and a big Fremantle supporter, so she had an interest in coming across to WA to play for Freo.
“We think she’s a player who has good size, she has really good hands but is going to be a work in progress as she’s yet to play against adults and she needs to work on her size and strength.
“We think she can be a longer-term prospect.”
