Lily Johnson will head to Port Adelaide for the upcoming AFLW season, after being selected as the club’s seventh pick (80 overall) at the NAB AFLW Draft.

Johnson is a native Tasmanian who made the move to South Australia to pursue football at league level and ultimately, on the national stage.

The West Adelaide product made her senior debut earlier this year and has shown she can be smart up forward and through the centre of the ground.

Johnson joins Hannah Ewings, Sarah Goodwin, Sachi Syme, Ella Boag, Yasmin Duursma and Amelie Borg to be drafted to Port Adelaide’s inaugural women’s squad.

Port Adelaide List Manager Naomi Maidment said:
Lily has performed well since moving to South Australia, along with her brother Jesse, for more opportunity in football. Lily has previously represented Tasmania in the under-15s side and both she and Jesse ended up at West Adelaide in 2022. Lily is a really clean, skilful player, who is smart around goals. She is quite shy, but has a great personality, and we can see she has huge growth potential in an elite environment.
