Congrats Sophie on the big 50. Reaching this milestone is no easy feat, let alone with a few injuries and setbacks but you’re proof it’s possible. It’s a testament to your strength, resilience and determination and who you are as a player and person.You’re the epitome of footy, fun and friends and you never fail to show up for the girls or this club both on and off the pitch.

With your big hits, motivational chats and epic social media posts for the club, you’re a the go-to gal for almost anything we need.

From playing together in schoolgirls to being your WAG on the sideline, it’s an honour to watch you play. Everyone is so proud of how you have approached each season and your leadership role on the field – this team wouldn’t be the same without you. 

I know Richo will be so proud to watch you carry the Taplin torch through the tunnel on Saturday as you continue the family legacy.
 
Happy 50th Soph. Keen to get on the bitch diesels with you later to celebrate x
