The vice captain had a hugely consistent season, despite positional changes from the backline to the forward line and then playing in the midfield, proving she was a force to be reckoned with no matter what her role was.

“I was up for whatever position I was going to be given. I think every time you step out on the field, it’s an opportunity to bring your best and your strengths and it’s a privilege to be out there,” Stannett said.

“There are so many people who would want to be in our shoes out there, so regardless of what position you’re in and where you’re playing, you want to be giving your best for the team.”

“Fortunately, I was surrounded by some great footy players, (who are also) great people and great teammates who helped and supported me in my new role, so I didn’t feel so much like a fish out of water.”
