Sophie Alexander (footballer)

Sophie Alexander (born 25 May 1993) is an Australian rules footballer playing for Essendon in the AFL Women's (AFLW).

[1] Alexander also started playing for the Horsham Lady Hornets in the Country Basketball League.

Coach Brendan Major noted her ability to score from outside the 50-metre arc, a rarity in women's football.

[5] For the 2018 AFLW draft, Collingwood was granted two chances to pre-select recruits to compensate for losing players to injury and rival clubs, using a similar bidding mechanism to the father–daughter rule.

[4] Alexander kicked the first goal of the 2019 AFLW season in her opening round debut; however, she was concussed in the third quarter after a marking contest.
