Purcell’s ferocity on-field cannot be overstated, with the midfielder turning into a ruthless contender once the siren sounds. The All-Australian is a key cog in the midfield engine room, averaging 21 disposals per game in her last two seasons. On the eve of season 2024, Purcell suffered a shocking facial injury, requiring extensive surgery. Astonishingly, she made a full recovery and played out the end of the season in a custom facial mask. Purcell will be aiming to play out a full season in 2025, bringing her competitive edge to the team.
