Dakota Davidson: Pick No. 60, 180cm, 31/12/98
- Tall forward or ruck
- Played in two QW Winter Series games for the Lions
The Brisbane Lions have selected Dakota Davidson with Pick No. 60 at today’s AFLW Draft in Melbourne.
The 20-year-old plays for University of Queensland in the QAFLW competition and can alternate between a tall forward or ruck position. She kicked 11 goals in 11 games for the Red Lions in 2019.
Davidson attacks the marking contest with aggression and has strong hands.
She played two games for the Lions in their undefeated QW Winter Series campaign against the Gold Coast.
Coach Craig Starcevich said Davidson has improved her game over the past three years.
“Dakota is competitive and has an energetic personality which we are excited to introduce to the group,” he said.
“We have watched her steady improvement over the last three QAFLW seasons.
“She is a reliable overhead mark and has a nice set shot at goal.”
