Elizabeth McNamara (born 19 April 2002) is an Australian rules footballer playing for the Melbourne Football Club in the AFL Women's (AFLW).
Early life
McNamara played under-18s football for the Sandringham Dragons in the NAB League Girls, averaging 17 disposals and six tackles in three matches before the season was shut down due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[1] When the Victorian draft combine was cancelled due to COVID-19 restrictions and players were forced to run their own two-kilometre time trials, McNamara recorded an unofficial time of 6:59, which would have beaten the record set by Template:AFLW Gee midfielder Nina Morrison (7:14) if run under combine conditions.[2][3][4]
AFL Women's career
McNamara was drafted by Template:AFLW Mel with its second selection, and fifteenth overall, in the 2020 AFL Women's draft.[5][6][4] On her first night of pre-season, she won the club's two-kilometre time trial ahead of regular winner Karen Paxman, again running in under seven minutes.[7][8] McNamara made her AFL Women's debut in Melbourne's 21-point win over Template:AFLW GC at Metricon Stadium in round 1 of the 2021 season, collecting 18 disposals.[9][10]
