Brie-destined for leadership
- Details
New Glenorchy TSLW vice-captain Brie Barwick can remember her first taste of football like it was yesterday, and not just because Magpie stalwarts Sandy Eaton, Nietta Lynch and Meg Jacobs were the coaches.
“My first footy memories would be as a Claremont junior rocking up to my first training and seeing Sandy, Niets and Meg as my coaches and thinking how the heck am I supposed to play this sport,” Barwick laughed.
