Episode 7 - Ruby Sargent-Wilson

In episode seven of Talking AFLW, we chat with our inaugural signing Ruby Sargent-Wilson. Sargent-Wilson grew up in the Illawarra region on the south coast of New South Wales. She is a natural born athlete who represented NSW in touch football, netball and AFL in the same year. In just her fifth AFL game in 2018, she was voted best player at the School Sports Australia Championship. She went on to play for the Southern Power. She joined the QBE Sydney Swans Academy in 2021 and represented the Swans in the inaugural Under-19 series, an experience which she credits for preparing her to become a professional athlete. Earlier this year she made the move to the Gold Coast to study at Bond University on the prestigious Riewoldt AFL Excellence Scholarship before moving back to Sydney as she secured a place on the Swans list. Talking AFLW, presented by Bing Lee, will bring Swans fans up to date on the competition so far, provide some insights into the build of our team, and introduce fans to some of the key figures in the FIRST ever Sydney Swans women’s team.
