Shepparton United’s Holly Egan finds new home at AFL Women’s national draft

The younger sister of current Richmond star Grace was selected at pick 34 by Fremantle, capping off a sensational 2024 which saw her take up the Murray Bushrangers captaincy and represent Vic Country at the Under-18 National Championships.

Earmarked by draft guru Kevin Sheehan as a top-30 prospect nationwide, the young gun slid slightly from the projections of ‘Shifter’, but happily prepares to move across the country and don the purple top.

In the process, Egan joins 2023 AFL men’s draftee Oscar Ryan of Adelaide as United’s second draft export in as many seasons.
