THERE'S no shortage of talent in the AFLW competition, but there's also no shortage of personality either.
As we head into the finals for AFLW season 2024, AFL.com.au posed some curly questions to a handful of the competition's best players.
Next up is Adelaide goalsneak Danielle Ponter, who is one of the game's most dangerous small forwards.
