AFL Sydney Women’s Rising Star Round 7 Nominee – Elly Rudd
The following is from Sydney AFL’s website and can be viewed here.
Name: Elly Rudd
Nickname: RJ
AFL Sydney Club: Pennant Hills Demons
Position: Rover
Junior Club: Bathurst Bushrangers
Favourite activity to do outside of football: Just socialising with friends.
What is one thing that we don’t know about this Rising Star that they are well known for around the club? Being from Bathurst and I used to drive 3 hours to train before moving to North Sydney.
What role do they play for the club both on and off the field? New to the club so still figuring out my role, but I hope to become a reliable player and person around the club. Trying to fill in the shoes of new team mate Elly Rugg (she stole my name but has been around longer).
The night before the game what will they most likely be doing? I’m probably working and hoping I get off early.
Nomination Details
Reason for nomination this round: Playing on the ball, Elly often takes a large amount of effective possessions, but this week she made sure to up her game with some strong tackling that won us the ball on multiple occasions.
