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 the ability to ride a unicycle to her 'just because' middle name, some of the answers did surprise us.

Next up is Western Bulldogs pocket rocket Rylie Wilcox, who has become one of the Dogs' most exciting talents.

But there's more to Rylie than her footy ability.
