Round 4 Anytime Fitness Women’s Rising Star: Olive McLean

By VAFA Media · May 8, 2025
Round 4 Anytime Fitness Women’s Rising Star: Olive McLean

The VAFA congratulates Olive McLean from Old Melburnians Football Club who has been nominated as the Round 4 Anytime Fitness Women’s Rising Star. Olive has made a profound impact for the Omlettes both on field, as a dynamic forward, and off field, as a vivacious teammate.

What the club said:

2025 is Ollie’s first year with the Omlettes. She’s come to us from Loreto and Sandringham Dragons and made an instant impact on the team. I first heard about Ollie from her older brother Xander who came up to me one preseason training and completely undersold Ollie by saying that she was keen to try out for the team. I laughed a little bit and told him if she was keen to play then she was absolutely welcome to join the Omlettes, I had no idea she’d end up being as good as she’s been for us. 

On the field Ollie is fiery and single-minded in her attack on the footy where she’s able to make defenders look silly with her speed and balance as she cuts through the pack before snapping a shot on goal. The sky is the limit for Ollie as she continues to hone her craft and gets comfortable with her teammates she’s going to really stake her claim as the premier small forward in the competition. 

Off the field Ollie brings a calm and confident vibe with a hilarious dry sense of humour that has really endeared herself to her teammates. As a coach, one of the things I love most about Ollie is her willingness to share her experience to help all our girls grow and improve.

A huge congratulations to Ollie for the nomination as a reward for all the work she’s put in so far this season!
