“That was amazing to hear my name come up and quite early on as well, that was very exciting,” she said.

Beeson’s really happy there’s now an AFL presence on the Central Coast and in the Hunter.

“It’s definitely grown in the past couple of years and that’s obviously on the back of the AFLW,” she said.

“I think participation’s doubled and there’s always new comps and new teams being established and I think it’s super exciting to see the opportunities young girls now have.

“I didn’t have that background growing up and had to double in other sports and finally found AFL.

“It’s super exciting to see the standard of competition the AFLW will be when these girls who start at four-or-five-years-old grow up and play the game their whole life and come into the AFLW”, Beeson said. 

Beeson sees her best attributes on the field as kicking and marking even though she doesn’t see herself as a big forward she modesty feels she can take a good mark. 

Another attribute is her cross country background which helps her towards the back-end of matches when others may be tiring.

As for this weekends do or die match against the Brisbane, Beeson says the team is preparing well.

The whole season, as it’s so short, is all about preparation and treating each match like a grand final.

“We prepare fully for each game and nothing really changes on the preparation front... we go out there to give our all... it’s paid off for us in the past couple of weeks, we’ve put in some really good performances and hopefully we can keep that going forward.

If the Giants execute as Beeson says, then their destiny may rest in their own hands as an AFLW grand final appearance beckons.
