Career Highlights: Taken in the second round of the
2005 draft under the brother-sister rule...Sister of Coachy...Made her
debut in the 2005 season playing deep in defence...Injuries forced her
to retire prematurely with her last being game against The Travellers
in Round 6 2005...Was a shock inclusion for the 2005 finals series...Became
the Cinderella story of the finals series as she battled a chronic foot
injury to guide The Bullets to victory and defeat The Travellers, against
whom she first suffered her injury...There was a big question as to
whether she would return to the side in 2006...Was due to make a decision
after undergoing surgery in the post-season break...On the advice of
several podiatrists, decided to risk it and come back for another shot
at December glory...Played in the season opener before once again taking
some time away from the game...Returned again in Round 5 2006 to help
defeat The Travellers...Wasn't seen again for the season...Played in
two games for two wins in 2006...Seems to be wisely picking and choosing
her games to help make her seem more valuable to the club...And help
her secure a six figure deal...Scheduling clash saw her put her career on hold to perform on London's West End in the smash hit sacrilegious musical "Luke Barisic, Superstar"...
