Anytime Fitness Women’s Rising Star: Alanah Strode
The VAFA congratulates Alanah Strode on being nominated the Anytime Fitness Women’s Rising Star this week. Alanah has come on in leaps and bounds since joining St Bede’s Mentone Tigers during the most recent off-season and has settled in nicely under the guidance of coach Belinda Ousley.
What the club said:
After a successful junior career, including a League Best and Fairest and Interleague honours, Alanah ‘Larni’ Strode joined St Bede’s Mentone Tigers during the 2022 pre-season.
‘Larni’ is a quiet achiever, but her hard work and attitude at training quickly made her a popular team member. Larni has played every game in 2022, mainly as a half forward. Larni has great football awareness and is a completely selfless player. Each week she chases down opponents, has running bounces, and is a master of goal assists. Her game against Hawthorn demonstrated her consistency in applying these skills.
We are so proud of Larni and feel lucky to have such a wonderful player and person at our club.
