Full Profile
Next Player
North Melbourne’s inaugural best and fairest winner, Bruton possesses a high footy IQ and has been able to adapt to a half-forward role after starring on the wing and in the midfield during the earlier stages of her career.

Her intelligent timing allows her to burst through packs and into space to win the football, making her integral to the side's fortunes.

At the top of her game as the Roos marched to the Grand Final in 2023, Bruton suffered heartbreak on the day, rupturing her Achilles tendon in the game’s opening minutes.

She earned sweet redemption the following season, playing 11 games as the club won its first AFLW premiership. The next flag might have tasted even better for Bruton, as she booted three goals in the 2025 Grand Final.
