The VAFA congratulates Zoe McCurdy from Caulfield Grammarians Football Club who has been nominated as the Round 10 Anytime Fitness Rising Star. Zoe starred in her sides commanding win on the weekend to earn herself a spot in the best, yet again this season, in another comprehensive four quarter effort.
What the Club said:
A product of the Coates league pathways, Zoe has been ripping kicks left right and centre since a young age at Park Orchard. She played her first game in Caulfield colours in Round 2 vs Collegians and hasn’t looked back. Strong at the contest, competitive by nature and with dash, Zoe has been a key addition to the Fields in 2024. Listed with the Southern Saints at VFLW level, her talent has already been recognised by plenty. Always the first to crack a joke and a smile, the group has welcomed her in with open arms and can’t wait to see where her raking left boot and internal drive takes her for the rest of this season and beyond.
Caulfield Grammarians Women’s Coach, Dani Distefano said, “Zoe has been an amazing addition to our squad this year. On the field, Zoe plays with no fear, driving her legs at every opportunity, and hitting targets all over the ground with her booming left boot. Off the field, Zoe is known for her quirky humour and infectious energy. She just loves her footy and it shows in the way she attacks the game and gets around her teammates.”
