Player of the Month

The heat is rising for Maddie Allen

In month of July, Maddie Allen is averaging over 34 minutes a game, 12.5 Rebounds, 4.5 Blocks, and 9.3 Points per game. She continues to anchor the Flames defense, which is ranked number 1 in the league in Opposition FG%. She has also earned herself a professional playing contract, signing in the WNBL with the Perth Lynx, and will commence there at the conclusion of her 2018 Flames season.

Maddie has been the catalyst for the Flames WSBL teams rapid ascent up the ladder, going from equal 9th in 2017, to outright 3rd in 2018, and with a massive show of winning it all. She brings a level of professionalism and dedication required to earn a WNBL contract, relocating from family and loved ones in Brisbane at start of 2018, to take up her position with the Flames.

 Teaming up with Darcee Garbin at the start of the season gave the club a 1-2 punch inside that teams struggled to match. However with Darcee returning to QLD in April, Maddie has played a lone hand as the clubs only true big in their playing rotation. With no insurance policy in place, Maddie will have her hands full come playoff time for the Flames in 2018.
