Allira Gattellaro, from the Aintree Auskick Centre has been crowned this year’s NAB AFL Auskicker of the year.
Throughout the 2025 Toyota AFL Premiership Season, the Seven Network has revealed Team NAB AFL Auskick recruits across Australia, with the team to present the medals to the premiership players during the 2025 Toyota AFL Grand Final.
NAB selected passionate and footy-loving Auskickers to join this year’s team, who all displayed the best qualities of NAB AFL Auskick – enthusiasm, teamwork and friendship.
Each recruit chose one lucky teammate to join them for the money-can’t-buy experience. From Auskick buddies, siblings to best friends, the final team is ready for this year’s Grand Final.
Allira was the fifth recruit announced by NAB during the Round 9 match between Melbourne and Hawthorn. She will receive $5,000 thanks to NAB to go towards her personal goals off the footy field.
Team NAB AFL Auskick coaches, AFL and AFLW stars, Nick Daicos and Katie Brennan, surprised Allira at the MCG to let her know she was the 2025 NAB AFL Auskicker of the Year.
Daicos said: “A huge congratulations to Allira for being selected as the NAB AFL Auskicker of the Year. It’s a big honour to receive this award and it’s great recognition for her passion for footy and NAB AFL Auskick.
She’s a fantastic choice to captain Team NAB AFL Auskick and lead the team out onto the MCG on Grand Final day.”
Brennan said: “Young girls like Allira are what makes footy so special. She loves the game and I’m sure she will continue to thrive as she progresses on her footy journey.
Allira has an exciting year ahead of her as the NAB AFL Auskicker of the Year and I’m thrilled to be part of her footy story.”
