One of the competition’s most exciting young players, Evans has quickly cemented herself as a star of the competition in her role as either an intercepting key defender or a hard-running key forward. An impressive endurance athlete hailing from Tathra on the NSW South Coast, Evans was taken with pick nine by the GIANTS in the 2020 AFLW Draft and quickly burst onto the scene to become one of the league’s most promising young defenders. Standing at 178cm tall and full of athleticism, Evans’ silky left foot and her footy smarts have seen her become a vital piece of the GIANTS side at either end of the ground across the past five seasons. After being named in the AFL Players’ Association AFLW 22Under22 team in seasons six and seven as a rebounding defender, Evans’ talent and versatility was highlighted in 2024 when she was named in the AFL Players’ Association AFLW 22Under22 team for the third straight season - but this time as a roaming centre half forward. Making the full-time switch up forward ahead of 2025, Evans will be looking to add to her goal tally as a spearhead of the GIANTS attack and as part of the leadership group again this season.
