Ashleigh Brazill (born 29 December 1989 in Campbelltown, New South Wales) is an Australian rules footballer who plays for the Fremantle Football Club in the AFL Women's. She previously played Australian netball for the Collingwood Magpies, and Australian rules football for the Collingwood Football Club, playing both sports concurrently.[3] [4] She has played for the West Coast Fever and New South Wales Swifts previously in her netball career.

Netball career

Domestic

Brazill made her domestic league debut for the New South Wales Swifts in 2010.[5] She made the move to the West Coast Fever in 2012 and made an immediate impact, winning the club's MVP for the season.[1] Brazill suffered with injuries over the next two seasons which restricted her time on court. Despite sitting out most of the 2014 ANZ Championship season Brazill captained Western Sting, leading the Fevers' reserves team to a bronze medal in the second-tier Australian Netball League (ANL). She was also named joint Player of the Year in the 2014 Australian Netball League.[6] She was selected as captain of the Fever for the 2015 and 2016 seasons.[7]

She signed with the Collingwood Magpies ahead of the 2017 Suncorp Super Netball season.[3] Brazill has been hugely influential in wing-defence for the Magpies and her good form was rewarded with the club best and fairest award for the 2018 season.[8]

International

In 2010, Brazill was one of the twelve players selected for the Australian Fast5 team. She took part in the 2011 World Netball Series in Liverpool and was Australia's best player for the series. She represented Australia again in the Fast5 series in 2013 and 2014.[9] On 25 October 2015, Brazill made her senior debut for Australia in the third test of the 2015 Constellation Cup series against New Zealand.[10] [11] [12] [13] She was also a late replacement for Renae Ingles in the January 2016 tour of England.[14]

Australian rules football career

On 18 October 2017, she was drafted to play for Collingwood in the 2018 AFL Women's season after being selected at pick 34.

Collingwood re-signed Brazill and appointed her vice-captain for the 2019 season.[15] [16] Brazill had a breakout season at the club and was named in the All-Australian team at the end of the season.[17]

In December 2023, following her request to return to Western Australia with her family, Brazill was traded to Fremantle in exchange for Mikayla Hyde, with picks being traded too as part of a massive 11-club trade.[18] Upon joining Fremantle Brazill was elevated to the club's leadership group.[19]

Personal life

Brazill married her long-term partner Brooke Grieves on 30 January 2016 in Western Australia.[20] At the time same-sex marriage was not legal in Australia. The couple celebrated the birth of their son Louis in January 2020.[21]
