With the AFLW season now come to an end, we take a moment to look back at each of the players on our list who made up our inaugural season in the competition.
1. Rene Caris
19-year-old Caris made her debut in round five against Brisbane where she played as a second ruck to Erin Hoare. Caris had seven disposals in her opening game and very nearly kicked a goal with her first kick in AFLW. Caris played the following week against the Fremantle Dockers where she five disposals.
2. Danielle Orr
Orr played in all eight games this season shifting between the wing to the half forward line. She averaged eight disposals at 67% efficiency. Orr kicked a spectacular goal with her left foot from the boundary in the team’s Round 3 game against Adelaide.

3. Hannah Burchell
Burchell made her debut in Round 7 against GWS in Round 7 after a frustrating run with injury throughout the pre-season. Burchell played on the wing where she had eight possessions.
4. Cassie Blakeway
Blakeway played all games bar one this season, as a understated defender. Blakeway’s best game came when it counted in the Preliminary Final against the Crows at Adelaide Oval where she managed 13 disposals.
