The rise of a Tipp superstar Aishling Moloney — She's quickly 'becoming the face' of AFLW

In only her 11th appearance, Aishling Moloney notched two goals, eight marks and 18 touches in an awesome offensive display. She is doing it all despite it being her debut campaign and minimal preseason.

Tipperary's Aishling Moloney.

There was a striking moment during Geelong AFLW coach Dan Lowther’s various media obligations this week as he reflected on their first post-season victory in AFLW history and the Irish star at the heart of it.

Geelong secured an 18-point elimination final win to storm into a semi-final against Melbourne this weekend. On SEN Radio, Lowther was asked about the league’s rapid rise and how the sport has now attracted the best athletes in the country.
