I'll be playing for Meath this year. It's a two year contract but it doesn't start until August of next year, so I'll be able to play for Meath this year.
It is a two-year contract, but because it's semi professional and it's not full time as in it's not full year round. It was one of the reasons I joined North Melbourne as they valued how much I value playing football, so it's probably one of the core things why we clicked and why I went there in the end.
Just even like them allowing me to go over later last year, and this year it was conversations that their happy with me and I'm happy staying in touch over here that will be the plan.
I think there's so much potential in Meath. There's so much more to achieve, and I think that's why I've such mixed opinions on even sitting down and talking about it and reflecting on it like it's the past. It's so current and so fickle.
If you sit on your laurels for even a year things can change so quickly."
The news will come as a huge boost for Meath, with Vikki Wall vital to their remarkable rise.
With more players than ever from ladies football playing in AFLW, this type of co-operation form North Melbourne is pleasing to see.
