The North Melbourne Kangaroos have selected Jasmine Ferguson with pick 51 in the 2021 NAB AFLW Draft.

Recruited from Collingwood’s VFLW team (due to play in the Grand Final), Harwood said Ferguson would provide another great option in the backline.

“Jasmine is a flexible, tall defender whose competitiveness and ability to read the ball in the air really stood out,” Harwood said.

“She’s professional and a mature person, who has played key roles on a number of highly talented forwards in the VFLW.

“We were really keen to add some size and flexibility to our back line and we think she has scope to impact early and continue to develop.

“We welcome Jasmine to the team and look forward to bringing her into the club.”
