Maddison Ford is the “old” one at 19 years and 2 months. She’s at least 174cm (note the claimed height in the tweet below, from late last year) and has a more-legit-than-usual basketball background.
Ford will have a tough decision on her hands soon as she has been excelling on the hardwood and also on the football field for Wallan and the Calder Cannons.
After playing her first season of football last winter, Ford won the NFNL Under 14 Girls Red best and fairest and Wallan’s best and fairest.
She was also named Most Valuable Player in her VJBL grand final with Sunbury.
It’s easy to see why Ford looks up to Monique Conti, another dual-sport athlete, who plays point guard for the WNBL’s Melbourne Boomers and recently signed to Richmond’s new AFLW side.

Her stats this year indicate she may be playing in defence.
