Year 10 student Ellie Armstrong has made her debut for Murray Bushrangers as part of the Coates Talent League Girls season. We recently caught up with Ellie to chat all things footy and what this opportunity means to her. Congratulations Ellie, we are so proud of you for following your dreams.

 When did you start playing footy?

I grew up playing with all my brothers at Rumbalara. I started playing footy when I was 11 but stopped when I was 12 due to COVID. In 2022 I picked up footy again and decided to have a go at Shepparton Swans. I ended up kicking three goals my first game and was awarded best on ground. That’s what boosted my confidence and love for footy.

What age group have you been selected for?

Under 18 bottom age for Bushies. For Shepparton Swans I play in the Youth Girls competition.

Was it hard choosing between football and netball

Not really, football was always my passion, I decided to try and balance out netball and footy at the same time. I would play netball for Rumbalara on Saturdays and footy for Shepp Swans on a Sunday, we ended up winning the cup in 2022 so this year I decided to stick with footy.

What do you want to get out of playing with Bushrangers?

I want to make AFLW … Richmond specifically.

Why are you interested in playing footy?

I grew up in a sporty family and all my brothers and my dad played football so footy is in our blood.
