Bowen continues to go from strength to strength at Geelong, coming off a stellar 2025 season when she finished third in the Cats' AFLW Best and Fairest.
Averaging career-highs in disposals, tackles, intercept possessions and score involvements, Bowen was able to have an impact right across the ground, while still pushing forward to kick six goals of her own.
Bowen finished the year with 34 tackles inside 50, the most of any player in the AFLW and double the next best Geelong player, bringing her trademark pressure and making life difficult for opponents.
Ending the season with 72 games played, Bowen is poised to reach her 75th AFLW match early in 2026, looking to build on her strong recent form heading into her eighth season.
