Yasmin Duursma is set to make her Carlton AFLW debut just 48 hours after walking the red carpet at the Brownlow Medal. The 20-year-old halfback, who played 11 games over two seasons with Port Adelaide, is stepping into the spotlight following injuries to key players.
With captain Kerryn Peterson sidelined due to a shoulder injury and Dayna Finn out with an ankle complaint, the Blues have had to reshuffle their backline, creating an opportunity for Duursma to shine.
Fans are eager to see how she adapts to her new role at Ikon Park as Carlton faces North Melbourne on Wednesday night. Duursma’s journey from Brownlow nominee to debutant highlights her resilience and potential, making her one to watch in this exciting matchup. As she dons the Carlton colors, expectations are high for her impact on the game and the team’s performance.
