Jasmine Garner (born 8 July 1994) is an Australian rules footballer with Template:AFLW Nor in the AFL Women's (AFLW) competition. Garner scored the AFLW's first-ever goal while playing for Template:AFLW Col in the league's inaugural match in 2017.[1]

Early life

Garner grew up supporting the Carlton Football Club, and Anthony Koutoufides was her favourite player. She started playing local football at the Yarraville Football Club at the age of eight, but later went through a stage of "not really enjoying playing footy anymore".[2]

Inspired by the women's exhibition games that took place in the years prior to the conception of the AFL Women's competition, Garner juggled local football with her day job as an apprentice landscaper.[2] After kicking 41 goals during the 2016 VFL Women's (VFLW) season for the St Kilda Sharks,[3] she was drafted by Template:AFLW Col with the club's eleventh selection (eighty-sixth overall) in the 2016 AFL Women's draft.[4]

AFL Women's career

Garner made her AFLW debut in round 1 of 2017, playing for Collingwood in the competition's inaugural match at IKON Park against Template:AFLW Car. During the opening quarter, she kicked the league's first-ever goal (her team's only goal in the 35-point loss).[5]

Collingwood re-signed Garner for the 2018 season during the trade period in May 2017.[6] On 2 September, she played for Victoria in the inaugural AFL Women's State of Origin match, and was named among her team's best players with a game-high (and career-best) five goals.[7]

In May 2018, Garner accepted an offer to join expansion club Template:AFLW Nor.[8] Her first season with the club led to selection in the All-Australian team as a half-forward.[9] She received greater acclaim for her performances during the 2020 season, winning the AFLW Players' MVP and AFL Coaches Association Champion Player of the Year awards.[10][11] Garner also claimed her first club best and fairest award,[12] as well as earning her second All-Australian selection.[13][14] However, she was "stunningly overlooked"[15] in the league best and fairest count, polling just four votes.

In August 2020, Garner re-signed with North Melbourne for two years.[16] At the conclusion of the 2021 AFLW season, she won her second club fairest and award, while also earning her third consecutive All-Australian selection.[17][18]
