Moloney selected in AFLW All Australian team

CATS star forward Aishling Moloney has been rewarded for her stellar season in the hoops by being included in the final 2024 AFLW All Australian team.

The award follows an incredible season that saw Moloney kick 21 goals, finishing tied at the top of the league goal kicking tally.

She became the first Irish-born player to take home an AFL/VFL/AFLW league leading goal kicker award.

Moloney, who was selected in the team at Centre Half Forward, hit the scoreboard in eight of her 11 appearances in 2024.

This was highlighted by a six-goal haul against West Coast in Round 9, the most goals kicked by a Geelong player in a single AFLW game.

Along with her scoring prowess, Moloney averaged more than 14 disposals and three tackles per game.

She becomes the sixth Cats player to earn AFLW All Australian selection in the club’s history and the first since 2022.

Moloney also finished second in Geelong’s AFLW best and fairest in just her second season.
