- Medium midfielder/halfback
- Played in all three Lions victories in the QW Winter Series

The Lions have selected Wilston Grange’s Cathy Svarc with Pick No. 16 at today’s NAB AFLW Draft.
Svarc a mature-age recruit at 27 years of age, only started playing Aussie Rules two years ago.
She played as a medium midfielder or halfback in all three victories in the QW Winter Series for the Lions and was part of their AFLW train on squad in 2019. She is athletic and difficult to beat in a one-on-one scenario.
Svarc plays for Wilston Grange in the QAFLW competition and was named in the midfield of their Team of the Year. She was also awarded her Club’s Best and Fairest
Coach Craig Starcevich said he can see a lot of potential in Svarc.
“Cathy is extraordinarily athletic, quick, strong and has a huge tank,” he said.
“Her athleticism is what grabs your attention at first but she is also competitive and not afraid to throw her body at the contest.”
