A premiership captain and the winner of the best and fairest for the 2023 Grand Final, there isn’t much Bre Koenen has not achieved. A foundation Lion, with over 100 games of experience, Koenen will once again lead the Lions charge in her sixth season as skipper. One of the competition’s best defenders, Koenen has a knack of being Craig Starcevich’s trump card with her ability to be thrown into the midfield. AFLW Premiership Player – 2021, 2023.
