The AFL is pleased to announce Australian drummer-singer and proud AFLW supporter G Flip will be the 2023 NAB AFLW Premiership Cup Ambassador.

Officially announced at the 2023 NAB AFLW Season Launch event on Monday night, G Flip will become the eighth person to hold the prestigious role, following Abbey Holmes (Season 7), Lisa Hardeman (2022), Jamie Howell (2021), Amanda Farrugia (2020*), Jan Cooper (2019), Sam Mostyn (2018) and Susan Alberti (2017). 

G Flip came onto the music scene in 2018, following the release of their breakout single About You from their debut album About Us.

The Melbourne-born singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist has received a host of music accolades including a Best New Music nod from Pitchfork, coverage from iconic publications Rolling Stone and L.A Times and has sold out headline shows in Australia and overseas.

G Flip – a proud Collingwood fan – said they were honoured to be part of the biggest day on the AFLW calendar.

"I'm extremely honored to be the AFLW Premiership Cup Ambassador. I have been a die-hard footy fan since birth and I'm extremely passionate about the AFLW competition. This means so much to me and I can't wait for the season ahead!" G Flip said.

G Flip is no stranger to Australian football, previously headlining the pre-match entertainment at the 2021 NAB AFLW Grand Final, performing at the MCG for the annual Queen's Birthday clash between Collingwood and Melbourne and was part of the Telstra Half-Time Entertainment for the 2022 Toyota AFL Grand Final last year.
