CAMBRIDGE McCormick has proven herself to be one of the top female Australian Rules players in the country.<\/p>\n
The GWS Giants defender and former AFL North Coast player was named in this year\u2019s AFLW All-Australian team, with selection in the Half Back line. <\/p>\n
The former Port Macquarie Magpies star had a stellar season for the Giants, leading all key metrics for inside 50s, tackles, and disposals, while also finishing second in metres gained.<\/p>\n
Before entering the AFLW, McCormick won the AFL North Coast best and fairest award and best player of the grand final in each of the first two years of the women\u2019s competition.<\/p>\n
Her excellence in the formative years of the competition saw the women\u2019s best and fairest award named the Cambridge McCormick Medal.<\/p>\n
The All-Australian debutant highlighted the importance of the AFL North Coast women\u2019s competition in her playing career.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe start of the women\u2019s league in 2018 is a highlight of my footy career, alongside winning the premiership with the Magpies in 2019.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe support I received from Matt Crawley, Paul Taylor and the wider AFL North Coast and Port Macquarie Magpies community is a testament to the dedication of the game and the Magpies to create a pathway for women and girls to make it to the elite level,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
The 27-year-old has played 35 games for the GWS Giants since making her debut in 2022.<\/p>\n
