Maddie Shevlin

At the start of 2017, Shevlin was selected in the Canberra Raiders' rugby nines team but switched her focus to football. In her second season with the Jets, she played up forward often enough to be their leading goalkicker. Additionally, Shevlin was a member of Greater Western Sydney's academy.

After impressing Melbourne coach Mick Stinear in a scouting clinic, Shevlin was selected by the club with pick 13 in the 2017 AFLW rookie draft. While at the club, she wore number 35. She did not play a match in 2018 and was delisted at the end of the season. In the off-season, Shevlin played for the Casey Demons in the VFL Women's, winning their best and fairest and leading the club in tackles (averaging five per match), contested possessions (eight) and disposals (15). Her form saw her re-drafted by Collingwood with pick 19 in the 2018 AFLW national draft. Shevlin debuted in round 3 against Fremantle at Fremantle Oval, the first of five games for the 2019 season.

Shevlin originally played OzTag, a variant of rugby league, representing Australia in the sport. She took up football in 2016 after encouragement from her teacher. Shevlin began playing as a wing for the Gungahlin Jets in the AFL Canberra, but missed ten weeks of her first season after she dislocated her thumb in her first match.
