Blues name new-look AFLW leadership group
Brianna Davey will captain the Blues for a second consecutive season with the support of newly appointed vice-captain Katie Loynes and fellow leaders Shae Audley, Darcy Vescio, Sarah Hosking and Kerryn Harrington.

Davey, who is set to return to the field this season after suffering an ACL injury last season, will be looking to showcase her best football that earned her 2017 AFLW All Australian honours.

Loynes was the Club’s joint AFLW best and fairest winner last season and possesses a wealth of experience that will prove invaluable in guiding the side’s exciting young talent. 

Vescio, Audley and Harrington have also been voted into the leadership group for the first time while Hosking remains in the position from 2018.

“Our leadership group has expanded to six this season, all with different strengths, which we feel will connect with our players on every level required, from our rookies to our most experienced players,” Coach Daniel Harford said.

Moody returns to training
Breann Moody has returned to training after spending a semester abroad at Iowa State University.

In her break from footy, the 2018 Rising Star nominee and Best and Fairest co-winner covered 24 states in her six months but it wasn't a total break away from sport reveling in Iowa’s sporting culture.

“They’re massive on sport. There’s a massive university there. Their football team went really well this year. Women’s volleyball, wrestling, soccer – they had a team in everything which was pretty exciting," she said.

“I did a couple of fun sessions of volleyball throughout the semester but nothing serious. It was an incredible experience but it’s also very good to be home and back on the track.”
