Tess joins the AFLW!

Tess joins the AFLW!

Congratulation to Tess Craven, who is completing VCE at Saint Ignatius College this year, on being selected by North Melbourne in the 2022 AFLW draft held on Tuesday night.

Tess was taken with pick 13 and joins a strong North Melbourne team that played finals last season, and is expected to be in contention again in the up-coming 2022 season.

Playing for the Geelong Falcons and Vic Country, Tess is described in her draft profile as a 'Inside Midfielder' whose key football strengths are noted as clearances, accumulation, consistency and footy IQ.

The profile goes on to say that Tess is arguably the best pure inside midfield player in the Victorian pool. Tess also won the Falcons' best and fairest award, averaging 21.1 disposals, 4.4 marks, 3.3 inside 50s and 3.9 tackles and played two games with Vic Country.

We wish Tess all the best for AFLW career and look forward to seeing her take the field with the 'Roos' in 2022.
