One to Watch - Klaudia O'Neill

Exciting key position prospect Klaudia O’Neill is returning to the forward line after a consistent season in the back half throughout 2024.

The 18-year-old, who measures in at 178cm, has impressed coach Narelle Smith with her movement on the track during preseason, leaving her well-placed to hit the scoreboard regularly in 2025.

Powerade Breakthrough Player Candidate - Ruby Lynch

Athleticism is a key feature of Lynch’s style of play as she continues to develop in the ruck and attack for the Eagles.

Measuring in at 181cm, the left-footer is poised to make her senior debut in the Hostplus SANFLW League where she will pose a serious aerial threat.
