At only 19, she’s a big-kicking forward with a big future ahead in football. Meet the latest Crow to be nominated for the AFL Women’s Rising Star award.

THE second Crow in as many weeks has been nominated for the AFL Women’s Rising Star award.

In her debut year of AFLW, she shares her nomination with Geelong’s Olivia Purcell.

The 19-year-old Scheer returned to the Adelaide side for Sunday’s game against North Melbourne after serving out a one-match ban for rough conduct and played a pivotal role in the Crows 35-point win, spending time in the midfield.
