CARLTON is delighted to welcome Madison Prespakis to its AFLW list, after recruiting the young midfielder with pick No.3 in the 2018 NAB AFL Women’s Draft.

The talented footballer already has a long list of achievements to her name, including premiership success at the Calder Cannons, All-Australian selection and multiple best-and-fairest honours.

Captaining the Cannons this season, Prespakis led Vic Metro during the under-18 national championships on the Gold Coast in July and claimed two individual awards – named the best player in the overall tournament, as well as for Vic Metro for a second successive year.

Such was her dominance during the TAC Cup, the young ball-winner polled 113 out of a possible 120 votes to also claim the Cannons’ best-and-fairest award this season.

Senior AFLW coach Daniel Harford said Prespakis will strengthen the Blues’ line-up in 2019.

“We couldn’t be happier to secure Maddy. Not only is she a proven ball-winner, but she has a super footy IQ and makes good decisions with ball in hand,” Harford said.

“Playing for Melbourne Uni in the VFLW competition, she averaged more than 25 disposals and also managed to hit the scoreboard, so we can’t wait to see her in the navy blue next year.”

Welcome, Madison!

Not a good way to win over the fan base, Maddy.

I hope her teammates weed the red & black shit out of her smartly.

With our performances and injuries she would have played all season if she was around this year..... And I'm talking about the men's team :thumbsup:

Go Blues

I agree - had to do too much at times. She almost played a lone hand in the middle.

But very impressed with her endeavour

Agreed, it was really only Prespakis and Loynes that did their bit in a ball winning capacity. I think Edwards did a good negating job on Kearney, plus a bonus goal (seem to be as rare as hen's teeth). Really highlighted how thin our midfield is. Think Davey has to go in there for as long as she can manage and "rest" across half-back when she's not on the ball. She's wasted in the forward line, particularly given we already have Harris and Vescio up there.

A bigger body wouldnt hurt in the middle - I feel we are worried about her knee and wont risk her

Time will tell
