THERE'S no shortage of talent in the AFLW competition, but there's no shortage of personality either.
As we head into AFLW season 2024, AFL.com.au posed some curly questions to a handful of the competition's best players.
From a fancy steak night order to shouting out two separate Nando's locations, some of the answers did surprise us.
Next up is Essendon's Brooke Walker, a triple-code athlete who was born in New Zealand.
But there's more to Brooke than her sporting ability.

My hometown is Manurewa and Kaiapoi - both in New Zealand.
What’s your greatest fear?
Losing the people I love.
What’s something no one really knows about you?
That I actually have a hyphenated first name - Brooke-Morgan. My parents were indecisive I guess.
