After moving to Sydney to become a sapper in the Australian Defence Force, Monahan took up playing matches with the Army team in intra-defence force matches and then later played for the UNSW-Eastern Suburbs Stingrays in the state-league level AFL Sydney Women's Premier League in 2016.[5] [3] She won premierships there in both 2016 and 2017, and in 2017 she placed third in the league best and fairest award while playing as a midfielder.[3] [4]
