When Marijana Rajcic was drafted to the Crows with pick 32 in the 2017 NAB AFLW Draft, she already had an idea of what it would take to make it in the AFLW competition, having previously played elite level soccer for years.
Rajcic started playing soccer in year 7 at Loreto, when her teacher suggested she try out for the under 12’s South Australian Primary School Sports Association (SAPSASA) team, which she got in to.
She went through the state ranks from there, and ended up playing with Adelaide United in the W-League for six seasons, including captaining the team in 2015.
