Sasha Dougherty became a Renegade in 2017 and quickly showed she knows how to find the footy, with quite a few cases of leather poisoning in her debut season. She’s also a rare unit being one of a only a handful of Gold Coast supporters, and is also one of the nicest people you’ll meet.

Recently dubbed “Superhands” for her ability to pluck the ball from seemingly any contest, with her height and agility she is handy in the ruck or as a key position forward. When she’s not playing footy she’s responsible for delivering news to our screens, being responsible for live crosses for the news in her roles at Channel 7 and the ABC.
