The North Melbourne Tasmanian Kangaroos has acquired one of the strongest lists in AFLW history.

Jess Duffin (Collingwood)
162cm - Forward

An elite athlete, Duffin has been a staple of consistency.

The dual-code athlete (cricket & football) earned recognition as an All-Australian squad member in successive seasons and is held in high regard due to her clean disposal by foot, while also proving to be just as effective in front of goal.

The 28-year-old averaged 13 touches per game, playing across multiple roles in 2018.

“Jess is very strong overhead and in our opinion is that she’s one of the best users of the ball by foot and rebounded the ball exceptionally well,” Harwood said.

“Jess will bring some real versatility to our list, with capacity to play and impact in all three zones.”

No stranger to the big stage, Duffin has also represented Australia in cricket on the international stage, as well as representing the Melbourne Renegades in the Women’s Big Bash League.
