Entering her second season with the GIANTS in 2025, Pauga is a dynamic small forward blessed with strong inside ball-winning abilities which gives her the flexibility to also play through the midfield. Originally selected by the Lions with pick 46 in the 2021 AFLW Draft, Pauga was a part of the Lions’ 2023 AFLW premiership side before joining the GIANTS ahead of the 2024 season following a trade with the premiers. Hailing from Queensland, Pauga honed her skills in the NAB AFLW Academy and in the Queensland U19 side before being drafted through eye-catching performances as an 18-year-old with grand final runner-up Bond University in the QAFLW in 2021. Pauga played in nine of 11 games in 2024 to become a regular contributor in Cam Bernasconi’s side.
