Vic girls shine in U18 Girls All Australian team
The best under 18 girls footballers in the country have been named in the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships U18 Girls All Australian team, with 11 of the 22 girls selected from Victoria.
This strong showing of Victorian talent being recognised in the All Australian team is a credit to all those involved in Victoria's talent pathways, including Coates Talent League programs and the Victoria Metro and Country representative programs.
Eight of the 11 Victorians are from Victoria Metro, who claimed the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships – U18 Girls title.
Metro won all three matches and was the only undefeated team at this year’s Championships to secure its first U18 Girls title since 2019.
Victoria Metro co-captain Sierra Grieves was awarded the competition best and fairest award after producing a dominant campaign to lead her team to the title.
The powerful and speedy midfielder from the Western Jets in the Coates Talent League averaged 28.3 disposals (16 contested), 6.7 clearances and four tackles across three matches and also took out Victoria Metro’s MVP award.
Grieves' has now been recognised as the captain of the U18 Girls All Australian team, topping off what has been an exceptional final year of her junior football career.
