CARLTON has welcomed childhood Bluebagger Emerson Woods to the Club with pick No.38.
Woods arrives at Ikon Park from the Eastern Ranges, where she earned a reputation as a winger with the ability to break the lines.
A latecomer to football having only started playing at the age of 16, the former basketballer formed part of Hawthorn’s VFLW premiership side.
AFLW senior coach Daniel Harford said the Blues were delighted to welcome Woods to the Club she supported as a child.
“To welcome Emerson to the Carlton footy club is really exciting – she’s got a lot of talent and pace to burn. We saw that when she recorded the fastest time in the 20-metre sprint,” Harford said.
“She was a member of the AFLW Academy and she had that experience in the VFLW. Emerson is really competitive and driven so we can’t wait to see what she can offer us.”
Welcome, Emerson!
