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 her biggest fear to a love for RipStik-ing, some of the answers did surprise us.
Next up is Adelaide midfielder Anne Hatchard, who is one of the competition's biggest stars.
But there's more to Anne than her footy ability.
