Carlton is delighted to have secured Brianna Davey as one of its marquee players for its inaugural women’s team in 2017.

The 21-year-old began her professional sporting career playing soccer, even making the Matildas national squad as goalkeeper.

After winning the 2016 W-League championship with Melbourne City, Davey decided to switch codes, making her one of only a handful of female footballers that have played another sport at the highest level.

The versatile defender, who also plays in the midfield, currently plays with the St Kilda Sharks, and has represented the Bulldogs for the past two years.

Davey is known for her sure hands and her ability to break away from packs. She can play in a key position role or as a bullocking mid.

Wherever she plays, one thing is for sure: she can blow a game wide open.

There’s no doubt she’s going to be an asset for the Old Dark Navy Blues.

Defender/midfielder
Western Bulldogs – 2015 & 2016
St Kilda Sharks – current
Melbourne Victory W-League - 2010–2015 (championship player 2013-2014)
Melbourne City W-League - championship player 2016

A beast (in the nicest possible way).

He (Mr Swann) said the honour and pride associated with the club's traditional navy blue jumper was priceless.

Clearly one of the most composed performers over the weekend - and excellent "ball security" to borrow a phrase from another code.


Clearly she has brought her Matilda's professionalism with her.

Excellent seven week season from one Bri Davey.

We're thankful that Kevin Bartlett and David Schwarz weren't members of the judging panel.

She did extremely well and did it with a stuffed back as well.
She can be even better though if she doesn't blaze away so much with her kicking.

Didn't poll as well as I thought in the AFLW Best & Fairest.

May have suffered from Greg William's syndrome - and been a bit "lippy" with umpires at crucial times.

Having said that most of the umpires used in the AFLW series were knobs.

Congratulations to Brianna Davey on being appointed AFLW captain for the 2018 season.

Well deserved, but I wonder how the deposed skipper Lauren Arnell feels about it?
