Richmond AFLW National Recruiting Manager Trent Mosbey's analysis on Hargreaves...

Zoe has played roles as a winger, inside midfielder and rebounding defender for the Northern Knights and Vic Metro sides this season. 

Zoe averaged 16 disposals, 2.3 inside 50s, 4.7 tackles, 2.7 clearances and 2.3 marks across all three games for Vic Metro off half-back and as an inside mid, running hard both ways, using the ball efficiently and playing a team brand. 

Produced a standout game under the Marvel Stadium roof as an inside mid with 25 disposals at 72% efficiency, seven clearances, seven tackles, four inside 50s and five marks up against Vic Country’s star midfielders Ash Centra, Sara Howley and Lucia Painter. 

Was also vice captain of the 2024 Northern Knights side and finished second in their best and fairest, highlighting Zoe's consistency across all games.

It was also great to see Zoe play VFLW for Carlton, having 12 disposals across all three lines against Geelong, looking at home at the level against the older competition with a number of AFLW players on both teams. 

Zoe is an exciting, versatile player, a competitor with an impressive kick and athletic profile, and is highly regarded for her leadership , professionalism, coachability, positive energy and strong desire to achieve. 

We loved her combination of attacking and defensive game styles.
