The power athlete has played five seasons of senior women’s football, after falling in love with Aussie Rules as a child.

She made her debut for Melbourne’s women’s team earlier this year and prides herself on her ability to cover the ground, as well as provide an option up forward.

Senior women’s coach Damien Keeping says Gillespie-Jones has a solid pair of hands and has the capability to make her own space.

“Kate’s strength in the marking contest, coupled with her ability to burst through congested packs makes her a difficult match-up for any opposition,” Keeping said.

Welcome, Kate!

Ruck forward at 179 cm ???

Seems to be about 170-185 for key position at present.

Tallest women are around 188cms.

Sound like we picked up a genuine ruck in Breanna Moody, so perhaps she's 6'4"+?

Seemed to always be in or around the contest. Disposal was a little slow at times but seems to have the ability to get it. Will get better when others read off her and move to space more quickly and create options.
