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.

Next up is Irish-born forward Aine McDonagh, who has become a key part of Hawthorn's team.

From her opinion on chicken parmigiana to her biggest fear, some of the answers did surprise us.
