Change the 'he' to 'she' and it just might just be the perfect way to describe a GWV Rebels star.

On that night Roberts called Billy Brownless' goal after the siren against the Bulldogs in the 1994 qualifying final, this time, it's not a Billy, but a Lilli, who is putting her name in lights.

It's fair to say that Rebels co-captain Lilli Condon has been a bolter this season. Having missed selection in the Victoria Country squad, she has consistently put her name in front of AFLW selectors heading into next week's draft.

Averaging more than 20 disposals a game and spending plenty of time with the Western Bulldogs VFLW squad for a number of games, there isn't much more the Bacchus Marsh 17-year-old could do to impress.

"I got called up as an emergency for Vic. Country, but I didn't end up getting a game," she said.

"But I wasn't really disappointed, it just gave me more motivation to finish the season off even stronger."

The strength of the Rebels program was on full display this season with six players, including a couple of underage future stars, making their mark on the country team.

It's with that knowledge of the strength of those immediately around her that makes the 17-year-old wary of what might come at Tuesday's draft.

"I don't have any expectations going into next week," she said.

"I'll watch it, see what happens, there's a lot of girls from the Rebels who are up there, so I'm not expecting to get drafted.

"I'd be pretty much in shock if it happened, I think i'd fall off my chair, it would be an amazing opportunity, but I'm not going in with expectations."

Condon is currently completing her year 12 studies at Loreto as one of the few footballers at the school, with many of her Rebels teammates at Ballarat Grammar.

She said after a full-on year to this point with Rebels, the Bulldogs, school work and of course dealing with lockdown in year 12, she was enjoying being able to focus on her studies right now.

She said she hopes to study at university next year, potentially in the sports science field or perhaps teaching.

She said her confidence had built since she trained and played alongside many of the Western Bulldogs senior players in the VFLW side.

"I played one or two games when the NAB league girls had a break and when i came back, I felt much more confident," she said.

"I felt I'd learned a lot more about the game. You'd be out playing, there was one moment I recall I was playing and when the siren went, one of the girls came up to me and pointed something out, and was really encouraging, and I realised 'yeah, that's exactly right'."

"It was was pretty exciting being among them, even if nothing comes from it, I've learned so much." The AFLW draft is on Tuesday.
