READY FOR A BIG YEAR
elcome to the 2021 NAB AFL Women’s season. We are excited that footy is back, particularly after COVID-19 disrupted the 2020 season and left us all wanting more. We are committed to ensuring we complete the 2021 NAB AFLW season and see it right through to the end when we crown a new premier. But to do that, things might look a little different this year. Our priority is to protect the health and wellbeing of the community, our players and industry. We have already put in place some changes in response to challenges we have encountered. We have amended our original fixture to accommodate the various border restrictions in place

and have announced a single ladder for 2021. We have also introduced ticketing for the first time, to assist in allowing crowds to attend in a COVID-safe environment. The 2021 NAB AFL Women’s Competition features many new highlights, including the first Pride Round, the inaugural AFLW Indigenous Round and the Toyota Good For Footy Round which marks the first joint themed round across both the men’s and women’s competitions. Thank you to our corporate partners and broadcast partners for helping us deliver the season and thanks to you for supporting AFLW and women’s footy.

AB has proudly partnered with the AFLW since its inaugural season in 2017 and during this time we’ve enjoyed watching the game grow, creating more opportunities for women in sport and inspiring the next generation of young Australians. Over the past five years, we’ve seen how football has provided the opportunity for young women to fulfil their dream at the elite level through the NAB AFL Women’s Competition. We are excited to see which young players have an immediate impact on the AFLW competition this year and will award the 2021 NAB AFLW Rising Star winner a $20,000 NAB portfolio at the end of the season. We will also continue to recognise the 18 weekly NAB AFLW Rising Star nominees and will award the nominees $500 and their junior football club $1000 and a Club Recognition Award pack that contains a range of training equipment. I admire the continued resilience and dedication AFLW players and clubs have demonstrated despite the challenges faced in 2020, and I wish you the best of luck for the season ahead.

F
ollowing a 2020 season where stumps were called without a winner declared, this year’s AFLW season takes on even greater importance. It will be another year impacted by COVID-19, with border restrictions looming as a potential obstacle to be overcome. Changes have been made in preparation for these issues, with the controversial conference system ditched in favour of a more traditional ladder. We’ll also see the introduction of ticketed games for the first time in the League’s history. With the ladder simplification, the top six teams will play finals, with the top two getting a bye in the first week. Four sides – Fremantle, North Melbourne, Carlton and Melbourne – were left alive when COVID-19 forced the League to call the 2020 season off and they look

the teams to keep an eye on again. The Demons may have taken a step back following their decision to trade away six players with the aim of going to the draft and resetting their experienced list. The Dockers went through 2020 undefeated, while the Blues and Roos had one loss each, though all three avoided each other as COVID-19 cut out the last two weeks of the fixture and prematurely ended the finals series.
Carlton was the most active of those teams in the trade period, bringing in veteran Melbourne midfielder Elise O’Dea. The Blues hope adding O’Dea alongside reigning League best and fairest Maddy Prespakis, captain Katie Loynes and emerging stars Grace Egan, Lucy McEvoy and Georgia Gee gives them a midfield unit that can match North Melbourne and Fremantle. The Kangaroos’ midfield was close to unstoppable last year

with Jasmine Garner, Emma Kearney, Ash Riddell and Jenna Bruton in the top 12 of the coaches’ votes. That quartet, coupled with another year of growth and minimal list change, makes North one of the flag favourites. It will be an interesting watch for the Roos after their decision to move on coach Scott Gowans in the wake of the COVID-19 cuts and then turning to long-time men’s assistant coach Darren Crocker as his replacement.
The Kangaroos’ midfield was close to unstoppable last year
READY TO GO: (Clockwise from opposite page) Roos champion Emma Kearney; the unbeaten Dockers were in full voice in 2020; exciting young Saints Caitlin Greiser and Nicola Xenos; Crow Eloise Jones with her game face on; relaxed Blues Grace Egan, Tayla Harris and Lucy McEvoy.
West Coast and Richmond also made similar changes, parting ways with their AFLW coaches and turning to assistant coaches from their existing men’s program. Ryan Ferguson takes over at Richmond and Daniel Pratt at West Coast. The Tigers went through 2020 winless and made significant changes to their list. They traded for Sarah Hosking, Sarah D’Arcy, Sarah Dargan and Harriet Cordner and also selected Ellie McKenzie with the top pick in the draft. These moves add to their depth and will hopefully allow them to be competitive. The Eagles, meanwhile, made a big move of their own in the trade period, bringing in Irish midfielder Aisling McCarthy from the Western Bulldogs following a breakout season.
St Kilda put a young and exciting team together in 2020 and will bring that back with a year of experience under their belts and a couple of handy trade period additions in Bianca Jakobsson and Jade Van Dyk. The Saints had the competition leading goalkicker, Caitlin Greiser, and NAB AFLW Rising Star runner-up, Georgia Patrikios, but also had a number of youngsters who flew under the radar, including Rosie Dillon, Olivia Vesely and Tarni White. The 2021 season will also benefit greatly by the return of a full-strength Adelaide side.

CAPTAIN CHELSEA RANDALL
CROWS TO FLY HIGH AGAIN
T
he Crows’ 2020 season was derailed by injuries to key players, missing finals altogether in Conference A, but the two-time premiership winners enter 2021 with renewed confidence. Standalone captain Chelsea Randall returns from a torn ACL and superstar Erin Phillips – having stood down as co-captain – is fully healthy after an injury-plagued 2020. However,
Adelaide lost a few key players over the off-season, with Courtney Cramey, Jess Foley, Courtney Gum and Sophie Li retiring. The list is filled with young talent ready to step up, including ruck Montana McKinnon and forward Teah Charlton. The Crows still boast the premiership experience and stars that made them the best team of the first era of AFLW. NIC NEGREPONTIS

YOUNG LIONS READY TO ROAR
A
fter a strong start to 2020 when they were undefeated in the first month, the Lions fell away and were totally outplayed in a finals loss to Carlton. A young team, Brisbane still exceeded expectations last season after multiple years of upheaval with key players leaving for expansion clubs. The Lions had an uneventful off-season, able to
keep their core of players together and build some continuity. They used their first pick in the draft on prodigious talent Zimmorlei Farquharson and traded for Taylor Smith from Gold Coast. It looms as another year of building for Brisbane, but it will hope internal improvement allows it to stay in the finals hunt. NIC NEGREPONTIS PACE-SETTER: Lions star Jessica Wuetschner goes into the season as the AFLW’s leading goalkicker, with 29 over four seasons.

CARLTON
CO-CAPTAINS KERRYN HARRINGTON, KATIE LOYNES
BLUES IN FLAG WINDOW
C
arlton finished the 2020 season set for a preliminary finals clash with North Melbourne, having lost only one game. Star midfielder Maddy Prespakis took home the competition best and fairest award, polling three votes in every Blues victory. Carlton enters 2021 with the youngest list in the AFLW, while somehow also having the most experienced. This was
helped by the addition of former Melbourne captain Elise O’Dea during the trade period. While the veteran midfielder comes in, Sarah Hosking departs for Richmond and rugby sevens player Chloe Dalton takes a year off to prepare for the Olympics. Stacked with young talent across all three lines, the Blues go into 2021 as one of the premiership favourites. NIC NEGREPONTIS

CO-CAPTAINS STEPHANIE CHIOCCI, BRIANNA DAVEY
PIES CAN TAKE NEXT STEP
C
ollingwood was the big improver of 2020, rising from the bottom of the ladder to finals. Players across the board took huge steps forward, coupled with the return of star youngster Chloe Molloy from injury and the arrival of Brianna Davey from Carlton. A fully fit Davey looms as a potential game-changer for the Magpies in 2021. Star defender
Ash Brazill will also return from a torn ACL. The Magpies traded for Melbourne speedster Aliesha Newman and drafted father-daughter selection Tarni Brown. Collingwood nearly upset North Melbourne in the elimination final and those additions and natural improvement could take it into premiership calculations. NIC NEGREPONTIS EXCITEMENT MACHINE: Young star Chloe Molloy is back to her best after injury.

CAPTAIN KARA ANTONIO
DOCKERS ON A MISSION
F
remantle finished the 2020 season undefeated, having blown away an exhausted Gold Coast Suns team in the first week of finals. The Dockers rightly were the premiership favourites when the AFL pulled the curtain on the season and they will be hoping they can do it again. Their only real move of the off-season was trading for Roos defender
Jess Trend, but she will be inactive for the 2021 season. They also drafted versatile defender Sarah Verrier with their first selection. The Dockers took advantage of the schedule changes, avoiding their main competitors North Melbourne, Melbourne and Carlton en route to their undefeated season. They have a point to prove in 2021. NIC NEGREPONTIS DOCKERS DYNAMO: Opportunist forward Sabreena Duffy was a livewire in Fremantle’s forward line in 2020.

CAPTAIN MEGHAN McDONALD
CATS SET TO POUNCE
T
he Cats continue to play a slow and steady game, backing in the list they built when they entered the competition. They made no moves for players in the trade period and took Darcy Moloney, Laura Gardiner and Olivia Barber with three picks inside the top 21. They will be hoping to finally get a full season out of former No. 1 RISING STAR: Reigning best and fairest winner Olivia Purcell will again provide the spark in the Cats’ midfield.
draft pick Nina Morrison, with the star midfielder tearing her ACL for the second time during the 2020 season. They also have a new captain, with star defender Meghan McDonald replacing the retired Melissa Hickey. The biggest question for the Cats is how they elevate themselves from the middle of the pack to the finals. NIC NEGREPONTIS

Kalinda Howarth was the breakout star of their inaugural season, with the SHINING BRIGHTLY: Former Lion and Roo Jamie Stanton led from the front in the midfield in 2020.

CAPTAIN ALICIA EVA
TIME FOR GIANT HOPES
T
he Giants enter 2021 on an awkward footing, with COVID-19 breakouts in New South Wales forcing them to relocate to Adelaide. They are coming off a decent 2020 campaign, where they finished second in Conference A, but the lopsided nature of the conferences made it hard to evaluate that ranking properly. GWS made moves around NO. 1: Cora Staunton was the Giants’ leading goalkicker in 2020 with eight.
the periphery in the trade period, bringing in Katherine Smith from Melbourne while Lisa Whiteley was traded to Adelaide. The easy improvement for the Giants will come on the scoreboard as they were the least-accurate team in 2020, kicking 26.45. They will be a team to watch, particularly with the current issues in the state. NIC NEGREPONTIS

CAPTAIN DAISY PEARCE
DEMONS IN DRAFT RAID
T
he Demons were set to head to Perth for a preliminary final before the 2020 season was cancelled and have since made sweeping changes to their squad. They traded away six players, including former captain Elise O’Dea, Aliesha Newman, Harriet Cordner, Bianca Jakobsson, Katherine Smith and Maddy Guerin. They did this NEW ERA: Skipper Daisy Pearce will have a new-look Demons team to lead in 2021.
to improve their draft hand and reset their older list before further expansion of the competition. They used three picks in the top 20 of the draft and will be hoping the list overhaul doesn’t negatively impact what has been the most consistently performing squad across the League’s short history.

CAPTAIN EMMA KEARNEY
ROOS ON THE REBOUND
A
fter a round one loss to Melbourne, the Kangaroos were close to unstoppable across the remainder of the 2020 season. They went undefeated from there, including a hard-fought finals victory over Collingwood that had them in the final four when the season was cancelled. Their midfield quartet of Jasmine Garner, Emma Kearney, Ash Riddell and Jenna Bruton
dominated teams and gave them control of field position. They retained their strong list going into 2021, but also regain star defender Jess Duffin from pregnancy and added inside midfielder Grace Campbell from Richmond. Due to COVID-19 cuts, they parted ways with coach Scott Gowans and hired internally, giving the role to Darren Crocker. NIC NEGREPONTIS IN CONTENTION: With a depth of stars including speedster Kaitlyn Ashmore, the Roos are again a strong flag fancy.

CAPTAIN KATIE BRENNAN
TIGERS RING THE CHANGES
I
t was not the inaugural season Richmond fans were envisioning, with the Tigers winless and finishing with a percentage of 35.7. They were ravaged by injuries, including captain Katie Brennan who dealt with serious concussion symptoms. Following the season, they parted ways with coach Tom Hunter and hired internally for his replacement, choosing development coach Ryan
Ferguson. The Tigers also cut ties with the VFLW competition, opting to align with Port Melbourne. They were active in the trade period, bringing in Sarah Hosking from Carlton, Sarah Darcy and Sarah Dargan from Collingwood and Harriet Cordner from Melbourne. They selected midfielder Ellie McKenzie with the No. 1 pick in the draft. NIC NEGREPONTIS EXPERIENCE: Bulldogs premiership player Monique Conti provides strong leadership to a young Tigers side.

he Saints brought a list built mainly from their VFLW side into the 2020 season and showed great development under coach Peta Searle. They won only two games, but were competitive and finished with a percentage of 90.6. They made some savvy moves in the trade period, bringing in Carlton defender Jayde Van Dyk and
Melbourne defender Bianca Jakobsson for next to nothing, but lost Alison Drennan to the Gold Coast and Jess Sedunary back to Adelaide. They should be a team on the rise in 2021, with another year of development into star young midfielder Georgia Patrikios and 2020 leading goalkicker Caitlin Greiser. NIC NEGREPONTIS ON THE RIGHT PATH: Kate Shierlaw, Caitlin Greiser and Nicola Xenos will help the Saints continue their improvement in 2021.

WEST COAST EAGLES
CAPTAIN EMMA SWANSON
EAGLES LOOK TO IMPROVE
W
est Coast found it challenging in its inaugural season, with its only win coming in round four against the Western Bulldogs. The Eagles entered the competition with the oldest list in the League and relied heavily on midfield duo Dana Hooker and Emma Swanson. They also struggled to hit the scoreboard,
kicking 11 goals for the season. They made a big signing in the trade period, bringing in Bulldogs star Aisling McCarthy, but parted ways with coach Luke Dwyer. Former North Melbourne defender Daniel Pratt will take the reins in 2021. The Eagles will be hoping for a significantly improved season this year. NIC NEGREPONTIS SPREADING THE LOAD: Midfield stars Dana Hooker and Emma Swanson will be looking for more support in 2021.

CAPTAIN ELLIE BLACKBURN
DOGS REGAIN THEIR BITE
T
he Bulldogs have been hit hard by expansion clubs in recent years, losing star after star since their premiership year. That was evident in their one-win 2020 season, losing five games in a row to close the year. The Dogs had four of the top 10 draft picks in 2020 and also had the Rising Star winner in
Isabel Huntington, highlighting that they’re still a young developing team. They lost Irish star Aisling McCarthy in the trade period, but brought in Katie Lynch from Collingwood. The Dogs finally have a year without major overhaul and will be hoping to build on that continuity. NIC NEGREPONTIS

AFLW ACADEMY SQUADS 2020 u The NAB AFLW Academy’s first intake in 2017 coincided with the start of the AFLW competition. The Academy is designed to prepare players for the rigors of AFLW football, on and off the field. Players have access to elite coaching, development programs and AFLW club environments. Following shutdowns to competitions in 2020 due to COVID-19, an initial squad of 20 players has been selected for the fourth intake, with a further 10 players to be added as 2021 unfolds. The players will receive ongoing mentoring and accelerated development through NAB AFLW Academy manager and coach Tarkyn Lockyer.

VEST PROVES A HIT A former star and his wife have released an important piece of protective equipment for female players. ASHLEY BROWNE
T
owards the end of his stellar 364-game career with the Western Bulldogs, Brad Johnson wore a rib guard when he played, having sustained a rib injury during a game. He had peace of mind and an extra level of protection and comfort. As interest and participation in women’s football exploded several years ago, Johnson’s wife Donna was concerned for the number of adolescent girls and women playing with no form of chest or rib protection and they came to the realisation there was a need for a high-performance protective vest designed for women playing contact sport. That was the genesis for the Zena Performance Vest, which after three years of research and trials in conjunction with Deakin University, was introduced to AFLW last year and by the end of the abridged season, more than 40 players were wearing it. Weighing just 160 grams and made from injected molding, the women wear it over their crop tops or sports bras and beneath their playing jerseys.

AFL RECORD
Research indicates that the vest absorbs up to 80 per cent of impact. “It can handle all sorts of impact,” Johnson said. “It really sits well on the body, it’s nice and light and it doesn’t restrict movement. The girls are recovering a lot better when they wear it.” According to Johnson, the garment has been really popular at junior level. Feedback from parents and players is that women
and girls are feeling more comfortable and have more confidence while wearing the vest in a variety of contact sports, not just football. Many women wearing the vest have personal stories relating to breast injury or concerns around playing high-impact sport with breast implants. Some are returning to sport while breast feeding or might have had a mastectomy or reconstructive surgery. It has been a satisfying project for Johnson, but he said Donna deserves all the praise. “This just normalises the conversation around the prevention and treatment of injuries in women’s football,” he said. “Donna was such a great support for me when I played and now it’s time for me to support her as much as I can.” Zena Protective Vest is officially endorsed and licensed by the AFL and AFLW. Sizes range from XS-XXL. For more information, visit zenasport.co or Instagram @zenasport_co
COMFORT AND PROTECTION: The Zena Performance Vest was worn by more than 40 players in last season’s AFLW competition.
