The VAFA congratulates Megan Smart from Williamstown CYMS, who has received the Anytime Fitness Rising Star nomination for Round 13. Megan has shone in her first year of senior footy at the CY’s solidifying her spot in the forward line. She has kicked multiple goals on three occasions and is a reliable marking target.
What the club said:
Megan Smart, “Smarty”, is playing her first season of Senior footy after coming through the Williamstown Juniors program. She is also on Williamstown’s VFLW list and made her debut at VFL level this season.
Smarty is a hard running half forward. She’s got great touch below her knees, has great goal sense and is a very strong mark, she really plays tall. For a player in their first season of senior footy, Smarty is extremely tough and strong in the contest. You’ll rarely see her beaten one on one.
Williamstown CYMS Women’s Coach, Lawrence Henry said, “We’re incredibly proud of Smarty’s development. She’s such a hard worker and brings so much positivity and a big smile to training and game day. We’re only scratching the surface of what Smarty is capable of so we’re thrilled to see her hard work pay off with this recognition. Smarty is already an exciting and powerful player with the way she can break from inside to outside a contest, with how hard she works we can’t wait to see how good she will be in years to come.”
