Three Pies swap stripes for the Zebras in 2025

20/01/2025

Lauren Brazzale, Eleri Morris and Erica Fowler have all signed with the club for the 2025 season.

Lauren Brazzale

Since the inaugural 2016 AFLW season, Brazzale has been a standout figure in the competition. She began her career at Carlton and established herself as a reliable and skilled player. In 2022, she brought her wealth of experience to the Magpies, successfully transitioning into a key defensive role.

Brazzale is recognised for her exceptional ball-winning ability, explosive speed, and relentless work ethic on the outside and has become an invaluable asset in her 73 AFLW games. Her durability and consistency are evident in her impressive record, having played 21 out of 22 games over two seasons in black and white.

Week after week, Brazzale delivers dependable performances, adding composure and class to her team’s line-up. Her impact on the field has cemented her as a vital contributor, and the Zebras are thrilled to welcome her on board. 

Eleri Morris

Morris had an impressive debut season for Collingwood AFLW in 2023, making her mark as a key forward with six goals from 10 appearances. Her performances highlighted her potential and adaptability, setting the stage for a promising career. 

Tasked with matching up against the competition's top key defenders, Morris proved her ability to compete against the best, using her strength, positioning, and footy smarts to create opportunities for her team. A reliable target in the forward line, Morris provided structure and presence, demonstrating her value as both a goal scorer and a team player. With her strong marking and willingness to take on challenges, she has laid a solid foundation for what promises to be an exciting future in the Zebras' line-up.

Erica Fowler

Starting her footy journey as a Magpies VFLW player, Fowler earned her promotion to the AFLW list in 2019 and has made her presence felt ever since, consistently showcasing her growth and determination at the elite level, playing 46 AFLW games.

Standing at 180cm, Fowler is a valuable aerial target in the forward line. She uses her height and strong marking ability to create scoring opportunities. Her versatility extends beyond the forward line, as she often contributes in the ruck, providing a physical presence and giving her team an advantage at stoppages.

Fowler’s combination of athleticism, skill, and adaptability makes her a key asset to her team, and her consistent performances reflect her commitment to making an impact at every opportunity.
