Continuing to grow with every passing season, Friswell enjoyed a strong year in 2025 and reached her 50th AFLW game, showing her importance to the Geelong line-up despite being only 22 years old.
The athletic winger averaged career-high disposals (12.6 per game) and ground ball gets (4.5) last season, while going at an impressive 71.2% disposal efficiency and making the most of her possessions.
On two occasions, Friswell matched her career-best of 19 disposals in a game, while also working to both ends of the ground and collecting plenty of intercept possessions and score involvements.
Under the tutelage of Mick Stinear and in a new system this year, 2026 is set to be an exciting season for Friswell and it will be intriguing to watch her progression as the year unfolds.
