Purcell’s on-field ferocity cannot be overstated, with the midfielder turning into a ruthless contender once the siren sounds. Starting her career in Geelong, the midfield bull won the Geelong Best and Fairest and gained All Australian honours in just her second AFLW season in 2020. Purcell is ball magnet, averaging just under 20 disposals and clearances per game across her career. A second ACL injury in 2025 derailed last season, meaning she’ll need to prove her fitness before hitting the ground running in 2026.
