Alyssia Pisano | Eastern Ranges

Height: 162cm
Position: Small forward
Strengths: Classy skills, elite goal sense, x-factor

MELBOURNE has selected small forward Alyssia Pisano with pick No.5 at the 2023 AFLW National Draft.

Pisano comes to the Dees from the Eastern Ranges and is set to spark energy inside 50, with the 162cm pocket rocket packing a powerful punch in front of goals.

The 18-year-old most recently impressed in the Talent League Girls season where she kicked a whopping 38 goals from 11 games.

In addition to her elite goal sense, Pisano’s classy skills put her above many in this draft class, making her an exciting recruit for the Dees.

“Alyssia is exactly what we were looking for, when we referenced getting elite through the door," Todd Patterson, the club’s AFLW List Manager, told Melbourne Media.

“Electric around goal, Alyssia can win you a game very quickly with her dynamite left foot.

"She has dominated at U18 level since she was 15 and we think she compliments an already dangerous forward group.”
