THERE'S no shortage of talent in the AFLW competition, but there's also no shortage of personality either.
As we wrap up the 2024 AFLW season, AFL.com.au posed some curly questions to a handful of the competition's best players.
Next up is Brisbane smooth mover Ally Anderson, who is one of the game's most prolific midfielders.
From her alter ego to her secret obsession, some of the answers did surprise us.
But there's more to Ally than her footy ability.
