She has nominated the Victorian draft pool.
Cunningham is a strong marking target with excellent reach and has proven to be difficult to defend in one-on-one contests across her AFLW career.

Another veteran, former Brisbane and Gold Coast skipper Leah Kaslar, has nominated for the Victorian pool of the draft.
The 35-year-old was delisted by the Suns after a cumulative 36 games across her five seasons at both clubs.
Kaslar is more traditionally a key defender, but spent considerable time in attack at Gold Coast.
