THERE'S no shortage of talent in the AFLW competition, but there's no shortage of personality either.
As we wrapped up the 2024 AFLW season, AFL.com.au posed some curly questions to a handful of the competition's best players.
Next up is Fremantle defender Emma O'Driscoll, who is one of the great entertainers of the AFLW.
From her greatest fear to the reason behind her go-to gameday hairstyle, some of the answers did surprise us.
But there's more to Emma than her footy ability.
