CARLTON is delighted to announce the acquisition of Lucy McEvoy after selecting the young star with pick No.2 in the NAB AFL Women’s Draft.

A natural leader and one of the clear standouts of the draft pool, McEvoy officially became a Blue on Tuesday after a stellar 2019 campaign.

The Geelong Falcons’ captain for the past three seasons, McEvoy was an All Australian in 2019 after starring in the NAB League, the NAB AFLW Under 18 Championships (Vic Country) and VFLW competition (Geelong).

Just as likely to star across half-back or up forward as she is in the middle of the ground, McEvoy is strong in the contest and is - in every sense of the term - a pure footballer.

CARLTON gun recruit Lucy McEvoy has received a Round 1 NAB AFL Women’s Rising Star nomination after a standout performance against Richmond.

McEvoy earned the nod after making her mark on the competition at Ikon Park last Friday night.

In her debut as a Game Changer, McEvoy collected 12 disposals, took five marks and laid four tackles in the Blues’ 34-point win over the Tigers.
