Maddie Quinn Drafted to AFLW Sydney Swans
We are so thrilled to celebrate one of our own, with junior standout Maddie Quinn drafted to the Sydney Swans AFLW in late 2025.
Maddie’s journey through the club has been a special one, and one that many in our community have had the privilege to witness. Former coach Pep Moles, who worked with Maddie from the age of 11 through to 17, reflected on her development with great pride.
“I had the privilege of coaching Maddie on and off during those years, and watching her development was incredibly rewarding,” she said.
“Maddie started out very green, but from the outset she possessed outstanding athletic ability. Her speed, ability to pick the ball up cleanly off the ground, and her high football IQ were evident very early in her junior career. While her kicking and handball skills initially needed refinement, her natural game sense and competitiveness always stood out,” Pep said.
As Maddie grew, so did her technical skill. Her selection into the Sydney Swans Academy proved to be a pivotal moment in her development, with the combination of elite academy training and regular Saints sessions accelerating her improvement.
“Every time Maddie stepped onto the field, her commitment and team-first mindset were unmistakable,” Pep said.
Maddie was highly respected by her peers throughout her entire time at the Saints and was a delight to coach.
“She was kind, supportive, always willing to listen, and, most importantly, able to put feedback into action,” Pep said. “She encouraged those around her, set standards through her actions, and was the type of player others naturally looked up to.”
Maddie’s reliability was second to none, never missing a training session or a game during her time at the club.
She was also a real community person, always happy to help in the canteen, assist with ground management, and support the club behind the scenes. A leader on and off the field, Maddie often played multiple games across a weekend, lining up for her own age group and then playing up whenever she was needed to support others.
Within the academy system, Maddie continued to go from strength to strength, consistently performing as one of the best players on the field. Her love for the game became more evident with each passing year.
“Many of us at Maroubra often said that she would one day reach AFLW level,” Pep said. “Her drafting came as no surprise to anyone who had watched her journey.”
Maddie’s success has also been underpinned by the unwavering support of her family, who were always present at games and became an important part of the Saints community.
As Maddie takes this next exciting step, everyone at Maroubra couldn’t be prouder.
We wish Maddie all the very best as she continues her football career at the elite level.
We can’t wait to see what’s ahead for her in the AFLW. If her junior years are anything to go by, there’s plenty more to come.

Celebrating Three Extraordinary Volunteers: Renee, Hayley and Camille Inducted as Life Members at Maroubra Saints
At the heart of every thriving community club are volunteers who give tirelessly of their time, energy, and passion. This season, Maroubra Saints proudly welcomes Renee, Hayley and Camille as Life Members, recognising their outstanding contributions and unwavering commitment to the club. Each of these fabulous volunteers has shaped the Saints’ culture, strengthened our community, and inspired players, families, and fellow volunteers.
Hayley: A True Club Legend
Hayley’s passion, leadership, and tireless commitment have had a massive impact at the Saints for years. A leader and a doer, she sees what needs to be done and makes it happen. On the field, Hayley coached the Youth Girls from U12 to U18 and the current U13 boys team, leading her teams to an incredible seven premierships across boys and girls. Beyond coaching, she instils values of effort, choice, and teamwork, helping her players grow as athletes and as well-rounded individuals.
Off the field, Hayley dedicated three seasons to ground managing every home game with her famous “Kirk Krew,” served six years on the committee, and has worn many hats to support the club wherever needed. She has also played a key role in organising events, managing trophies and uniforms and mentoring new coaches and volunteers.
Hayley has been a driving force in championing diversity and inclusion, including the creation of the Saints’ first Indigenous jersey, a legacy that will continue to inspire future generations. Hayley’s passion and impact reach far beyond the field. Her dedication has helped shape the Saints’ culture and strengthen its community for years to come.
Renee: Leadership and Legacy
Renee has been an outstanding volunteer at the Saints for over six years, including five as President. A hands-on leader and true ambassador, she has been deeply involved in all aspects of club operations – canteen management, merchandise, player retention and development, event organisation, sponsorship and community engagement.
As President, Renee led by example, guiding the club and community with authenticity and integrity. Her genuine approach earned the trust and support of everyone involved, and her initiatives were widely embraced. She was instrumental in strengthening the club’s foundations, ensuring sustainable growth and a strong sense of belonging for all members.
Beyond leadership, Renee has always remained connected to the grassroots – often found at the BBQ, in the canteen, or at the uniform shop, chatting with players and parents. Even after stepping down as President, she continues to support the club, offering her time, guidance and good humour wherever needed.
Renee’s unwavering commitment, warmth, and generosity have left a lasting legacy at the Saints. Her leadership has shaped the club’s culture and community spirit, making her a highly deserving Life Member.
Camille: Community Builder and Connector
Camille has been a passionate and dedicated volunteer at the Saints since 2015. Starting as a Team Manager for the U6s, she has worn many hats over the years – Team Manager, Manager of Managers, fundraiser, social media coordinator and committee member, to name a few. Her focus has always been on building community, connecting parents, and supporting our volunteers.
Camille’s leadership, creativity and dedication have had a huge impact across the club, helping build a strong, connected and inclusive community. She has been the driving force behind the Saints’ communication channels, launching and managing the club’s Facebook and Instagram pages to celebrate players, strengthen engagement across the broader community and share the spirit of the club. She is also the go-to person for the Saints parent community, always ready to answer questions, lend support, or rally volunteers.
Over the years, Camille has organised countless end of season parties, events, and fundraisers that have become highlights of the Saints calendar. Highly organised and always community-minded, she embodies the true Saints spirit. This year, Camille was awarded the Trever Bynre Volunteer of the Year Award by AFL Sydney Juniors for her outstanding contribution and service. Recognised now with Life Membership, her enthusiasm and dedication continue to inspire the Saints family.
