Position: Ruck
Height: 184cm
Date of Birth: 17/2/2006 

Bio: An overage prospect and one of the tallest nominees in this year’s crop, GIANTS Academy talent Janschek has enjoyed a significant rise in 2025, just her second year of football. A talented netballer, whose aerial skills and athleticism have transferred onto the football field, helped to earn her a call-up to the Allies in 2025. While she is still honing her raw skills and learning the game, an innate competitiveness and reading the play have been important assets in her transition. She earned a list spot in Sandringham’s VFL side this year, featuring on three occasions for the Zebras while also managing four Coates League matches with the GIANTS, averaging 33.5 hit outs per game.  

What GIANTS AFLW List Manager Tyson Bourke says: 

“Yasmeen’s determination and development in just a few years playing the game make her an incredibly exciting addition to our playing group. 

“A versatile athlete with great aerial skills and strength, as well as being a GIANTS Academy player, Yas is an important addition to our list and we look forward to her development as an AFLW player.”
