THERE'S no shortage of talent in the AFLW competition, but there's also no shortage of personality either.

As we head into AFLW season 2024, AFL.com.au posed some curly questions to a handful of the competition's best players.

From a hidden shyness to her celebrity doppelganger, some of the answers did surprise us.

Next up is Carlton draftee Lila Keck, whose personality is only matched in size by her talent.

But there's more to Lila than her footy smarts.
