๐ NETBALL - NEW RECRUIT ๐
Gracie developed her game at St Albans, progressing through the junior ranks from U11s to U17s before stepping into senior netball early. She debuted in C Grade while still in 17s, earning promotion to B Grade the following seasonโan early sign of the level she was building towards.
In 2024, she made the move to North Geelong and immediately made an impact, finishing runner-up in the league Under 19 Best and Fairest in her first year for the club. She backed that up in 2025 by stepping into A Grade and becoming a dominant player in the league.
Gracie is an absolute force on the court. Her physicality, elite speed, and ability to shut down opponents make her a genuine defensive weapon. She attacks the contest with intent, plays with a ruthless edge, and brings a composed, business-like mindset every time she steps out.

Bonnie returns to Grovedale after three years away, having taken time to start a family. A former leader and driving force within the A Grade side, Bonnie played with Grovedale from 2019 to 2022 and was recognised as A Grade Best and Fairest in both 2021 and 2022.
Her netball journey also includes time with South Barwon, along with her junior development in the Ovens and Murray League with Yarrawonga.
Bonnie has been incredibly impressed by the transformation of the Grovedale Netball program and was drawn back by the strong culture, connection, and standard that has been built within the club.
A respected leader and competitor, Bonnieโs return brings experience, composure, and a powerful presence back into the A Grade side. With an exceptional ability to read the play and take momentum-shifting intercepts, she lifts the energy and belief of those around her, her presence alone empowering the team. Bonnie has stated she is looking forward to the season ahead and taking the court alongside our incredible netballers.
