Big V coaches confirmed for Bendigo clashes
The VAFA are delighted to announce that LUKE MAHONEY & PAUL CARRIGAN will lead the Big V into battle against Bendigo FNL in July. The VAFA will send two teams
The VAFA congratulates Charlie Anderson from Caulfield Grammarians, who has received the Anytime Fitness Rising Star nomination for Round 18. As a defender, a players impact can sometimes go unnoticed in comparison to that of a midfielder, however Charlie has proved this all wrong, featuring as one of the best afield in 11 of her 14 matches played this year.
What the club said:
Charlie Anderson’s rise to fame has been years in the making. The first father-daughter player in Caulfield’s club history, Charlie has been an asset to the program since debuting in 2021. With speed to burn, an eye for back-with-the-flight intercepts, and an elite work rate, Charlie has put together a consistently brilliant campaign this season.
Her perseverance to overcome injury obstacles in the past year cannot be understated and the output even more impressive knowing the mountain of work Charlie has put in behind the scenes to stay healthy on the park. The Fields are so proud of way Charlie carries herself on and off the field, and are so excited to see her footy journey continue to progress in leaps and bounds.
Coach Dani said, “Charlie is a key pillar of our backline. Her sheer strength and ability to read the flight of the ball has allowed us to really propel off half back this year.
Despite being so young, Charlie is an important leader of our squad – her directional communication, coupled with her incredible intercept marking ability and exceptional work rate sets the standard at training and on game day.
Off the field, Charlie is a great friend, has an awesome sense of humour and is an absolute pleasure to coach. We absolutely love having Charlie at the club and can’t wait to watch her grow.”
