AFLW Round 6 Rising Star Nominee - Amber Clarke; Essendon

Essendon forward Amber Clarke has earned an AFLW Round Six Rising Star nomination after a game-breaking display in their 10-point comeback win over Geelong. Clarke grabbed 16 disposals and booted two crucial goals to help get the Bombers over the line and improve to a 4-2 record this season. The 18-year-old got the Bombers on the board with a freakish snap from the right forward pocket on the verge of half-time. Taken with the Bombers’ first-ever AFLW draft selection at pick four in the 2022 National Draft, Clarke is growing into an important player among the club’s young core.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
