Nicola Stevens (born 24 March 1993) is a professional Australian rules footballer playing for the Carlton Football Club in the AFL Women's (AFLW). She previously played for the Collingwood Football Club in 2017. Stevens was selected in the inaugural AFL Women's All-Australian team and won Collingwood's inaugural best-and-fairest during her only season with the Magpies in 2017.

Early life

Stevens grew up supporting the Essendon Football Club, having had two family members (both life members) involved at the club at different capacities. Stevens started playing Auskick and played local football throughout her childhood.[1] In 2013, Stevens began playing for Melbourne University in the Victorian Women's Football League (VWFL), now the VFL Women's (VFLW).[2]

Stevens was selected eighteenth overall by Template:AFLW WB in the inaugural women's draft in 2013. She continued to play for the Bulldogs in AFL exhibition games in three of the next four seasons,[3] missing the 2014 season with a knee injury.[4]

AFL Women's career

Collingwood (2017)

Stevens was Template:AFLW Col’s first selection, sixth overall, in the 2016 AFL Women's draft.[5] Inaugural Magpies coach Wayne Siekman considered Stevens to be "the best defender in the draft".[2]

Stevens was acknowledged for her outstanding first season by being listed among five defenders in the 2017 AFL Women's All-Australian team.[6] The following day, she was announced as Collingwood’s inaugural women’s best-and-fairest winner.[5]

Carlton (2018–present)

On 16 May 2017, Stevens was traded to Template:AFLW Car. She was packaged with Collingwood's fourth-round draft selection in exchange for Carlton's first, second and third draft selections in the 2017 AFL Women's draft.[7][8]
