South Adelaide defender Alissa Brook has been selected by Port Adelaide as the club's second pick (pick 25 overall).
The athletic defender broke into the Panthers' league side for Round 11 of SANFLW in 2023, holding her spot for the final three games of the year, including the grand final.
At the AFLW Draft Combine, Brook recorded a 72-centimetre running vertical jump and 58-centimetre standing vertical jump, ranking her inside the top five nationally for both tests.
She also recorded a sub-3.3 second 20m sprint which, coupled with her impressive agility, makes her an all-round athlete worthy of a shot at AFLW level.
Brook is the second of two picks required for Port Adelaide to complete its 2024 AFLW list.
List manager Naomi Maidment said:
“Alissa is a tall, really athletic player who tested really well at the AFLW Draft Combine. She is a player we think will have an impact in the future either across half back or a developing wing role. Came through the Port Adelaide Next Generation Academy as a junior and will add a lot to our group off-field as well.”
