Ep.19: Courtney Wakefield

About this episode

Courtney Wakefield discusses her experiences balancing an AFLW career with family life on a large farm.

Hello all, we are back in the swing of things after a short Christmas break. And boy, are we back! This week we had a strong black coffee with retired AFL Women's All Australian (2022), Richmond Leading Goalkicker (2020, 2022), and mother of two (2), Courtney Wakefield. Tune in and hear what it's like to live, and work a 110,000 acre Farm in the bush and try to forge out an AFLW career with a young family in tow. Happy Australia day.
