Central District Bulldogs small forward Elaine Grigg realised her dream at Monday night’s AFLW Draft, being selected by the Western Bulldogs with Pick 6.
The South Australian talent earned All-Australian honours following a stellar season in the SANFL. She averaged 18 disposals and six tackles during her campaign with the South Australian team.
With outstanding agility, tackling ability, and defensive pressure, Grigg will be a welcome addition to the Bulldogs’ list next season.
