From bringing up a small team of her own, to playing alongside her eldest daughter, Lisa has a big engine on and off the field. 
Got any nicknames and if so, how did you get it/them?
​
I had a couple of Nicknames from school. But I’ll keep them to myself. My one growing up was inherited from my
Picture
brother and it was little Muck.
​
Your daughter plays along side of you as well. Has it occurred to you that you may be the first mother-daughter combo to play in the league? Do you know of any others? 
​
I haven’t heard of any others? But it’s pretty special. It’s hard watching sometimes. Still a bit protective.
Where do you hail from?
I come from a small country town Temora where all great athletes come from.
How did you come to be playing footy for NDAFC in it inaugural year in the south coast women’s league?
Was coerced by a friend and starting training back in January.
How are you finding playing physically?
Physically it’s hard on the body. I was not prepared for that! But every week I feel fitter and less injured than the week before.
Is it what you thought it would be?
It’s harder than I thought and soooooo much running.
Who’s your favourite AFL team, men’s or women’s?
I have followed Carlton for as long as I have remembered.
Favourite music?
I like all music but country music is probably my fav much to my kids dislike especially on driving trips.
Favourite place to eat out?
Amigos is my favourite place anywhere Mexican.
Favourite ‘ME TIME’ thing to do...
ME time is just that ME and no one else. With 5 kids it doesn’t happen very often.
If you could change one thing…
If I could change one thing it would be stronger protection for Children.
Favourite quote or inspirational words...
You where given this life because you are strong enough to live it!
What do you like about NDAFC? 
I love everything. I have been there from the start so the welcome and support we have received has been amazing. Would [not?] play anywhere else.
Lastly, who do you nominate for the next profile, and what is one question you would ask them?
Ashton Reid! Was AFL ever a sport you would have chosen to play 5 years ago and why?
