There was plenty to celebrate at the AFLW’s night of nights with a handful of Gold Coast talent recognised on the big stage at Centrepiece, Melbourne on Monday evening .

To kickstart the ceremony, Niamh McLaughlin was named on the All Australian interchange and awarded her inaugural prestigious blazer.

The SUNS skipper topped off a career-best season across the midfield and half-back amassing a career-high 10 votes in the esteemed count.

Charlie Rowbottom capped off another dominant season accumulating 10 votes across four standout fixtures.

The three-time SUNS Club Champion earned the perfect three votes in Round 6 against Richmond where she amassed one goal, 12 tackles and 30 disposals before receiving another nod in the SUNS win over Richmond in Round 12.

Lucy Single was the only SUN to feature on the voting board in the SUNS season opener against West Coast before the co-captain’s leading performance (13 contested possessions, eight tackles and one goal) during the SUNS first win of the season in Round 4 earned her another bid.

Young SUNS gun and Round 3 Rising Star Havana Harris earned a total of 19 votes from the 2025 Telstra AFLW Rising Star panellists, placing her fourth on the podium of the league’s most elite emerging talent.
