Pick No.42 in her 2021 draft pool, Tahlia Gillard was one of the tallest prospects standing at 190cm.
The 18-year-old, who has a netball and softball background, is a proven weapon both in the ruck and up forward, but she also has the attributes to develop into a key defender, if required.
Gillard was a member of the NAB AFLW Academy and played for both the Calder Cannons and Vic Metro in 2021, showing continuous improvement in the NAB League.
Gillard played in all 13 games of the Premiership 2022 season, establishing herself as a key part of the tough Melbourne defenders group.
