Pick 14 | Mizuki Brothwell Highlights

Check out some of the best moments from the athletic defender.

Having come to football from netball only in the last few years, here’s what AFL Talent Ambassador Kevin Sheehan had to say:

“An athletic defender, Brothwell has a good balance on when to attack and when to defend. Is prepared to take the game on from the back half with her dash, which she showed consistently during the National Championships for Victoria Country, averaging 16.3 disposals, 2.8 marks and 3.8 rebound 50s to win All Australian honours.

Produced similar numbers for the Dandenong Stingrays at club level, with her intercepting ability a feature, averaging 16.9 disposals and 2.6 marks per game to finish third in their best and fairest award and earning Coates Talent League Team of the Year selection.”
