The athletic Queenslander had more hitouts than any other ruck in the AFLW last season. Bella is originally from Sarina, near Mackay, and came through the SUNS Academy before spending one season with Brisbane prior to Gold Coast's acceptance into the League. She has a strong leap and can win her own footy around the ground, although this is an area she would love to develop. Bella spent her junior years representing the SUNS and AFLW Academy, and was also selected in Gold Coast’s 2018 and 2019 QW Winter Series squads.
