The Western Bulldogs have added Brooke Vernon to its playing list for AFLW season seven.
Taken with the Bulldogs’ final pick in the 2022 NAB AFLW Draft, Vernon was initially drafted to Carlton with pick 26 in 2019.
The 21-year-old managed three AFLW games across three seasons – remarkably two of those against the red, white and blue – before parting ways with Carlton this off-season.
Formerly a forward, Vernon relished a new role in defence with the Dandenong Stingrays in 2019, and was rewarded for her form with Vic Country representation.
Her ball-use by foot is one of her best strengths, and will significantly bolster the Bulldogs’ defensive stocks in season seven.
