Montana Beruldsen
Height: 169cm
DOB: 25/2/1999
State / Club: South Australia (born) / Hawthorn VFLW

Pick 12 overall, and the Swans fourth selection is former track athlete, 23 year-old Montana Beruldsen who joints the club from a stint in the VFLW with Hawthorn.

Originally from South Australia, Beruldsen has excelled in the 100m and 400m hurdles, competing at the national level, while she has also competed at a high level in a range of other disciplines including the heptathlon. Beruldsen joined Hawthorn’s AFLW Academy last year and played in the Hawks VFLW side this season.

Sydney Swans Coach Scott Gowans said:

“Montana has only played five or six games of AFL in her life, she’s a 400m hurdler at national level and she’s an elite athlete so we think she has the athletic ability to develop and grow. Her growth and limited time in the Hawthorn VFLW program has been amazing. She finds the footy, she has natural instinct, and we think we can develop that into something really special.”
