North Adelaide gains AFLW experience through its signing of former Fremantle Docker Jade de Melo. The 28-year-old has also played for the NT Thunder, ensuring her expertise at State League level will prove beneficial for the Roosters in 2022.
”Watch this Space!” With those words North premiership coach Krissie Steen spoke highly of talented teenager Laela Ebert. The Modbury product boasts exceptional skills and ability to read the play, causing SANFL Female Talent Manager Robbie Neill to sit up and take notice. Aged just 15, Ebert is the daughter of former Rooster Daniel Ebert.
