The Ebert surname is well-known to South Australians, but now Laela is forging her own path at Melbourne. The 19-year-old has been regarded as one of the state’s top talents, having recently won the best-on-ground medal for the SANFLW State team in defeating the WAFLW at Adelaide Oval. She is known for her high football IQ, clean hands, neat foot skills, and great vision, and is capable of having a real impact as a rebounding defender. Ebert’s opportunity comes after injury to Jacinta Hose, who will remain on the inactive list for the upcoming season due to a back injury.
