A prodigious junior footballer who burst onto the women’s football scene in the mid 2000's, Jade Pregelj was all but lost to footy when she pursued a career with the Australian Defence Force. Now back living in Queensland she has the potential to be the most valuable mature age pick of the 2019 NAB AFLW Draft, taken with pick 86 overall. She returned to football to play for the SUNS in the 2019 QW Winter Series where she won the award for Emerging Player of the Winter Series.
