After an upbringing in motorcycle racing, Iilish Ross then transitioned into AFL for a bit of fun. Since being drafted to Collingwood at pick 13 in the 2017 AFLW draft, Iilish has played 5 games and averaged 6.2 disposals in the 2018 season.
Iilish says:
“I couldn’t have asked for anything better than to be playing AFLW”.
The story so far: A medium defender who uses the ball well on her preferred left foot and shows dash from defence. A strong performer in the 2017 State of Origin match with five rebound 50s, Ross was selected for the 2017 TAC Cup Girls Team of the Year.
