Five of North Melbourne's premiership players and its coach Brett Gourley have been named in the 2024 VFLW Team of the Year.
After guiding the Roos to third on the ladder after the home-and-away season, Gourley became the first coach to lead a Kangaroos VFLW team into a finals series and ultimately to a flag.
He is joined in the team by premiership players Nyakoat Dojiok, Audrey Rhodes, Nicole Hales, Alana Barba and club best and fairest winner Maddie Di Cosmo.
Dojiok was a damaging forward for the Roos during her debut season for the club, booting 22 goals from 13 games, while defender and fellow off-season recruit from Collingwood Nicole Hales was a rock in defence under Gourley.
The midfield trio of Rhodes, Barba and Di Cosmo proved too difficult to stop as the season progressed, and all dominated on Grand Final day against the Western Bulldogs.
North Melbourne had a League-high seven representatives named in the extended Team of the Year squad last month. Renee Tierney and Kate Reynolds were the unlucky Roos to miss out on making the final cut.
