Posting a career-best season in 2025, Favell was one of the shining lights for Geelong through the VFLW. She racked up 21.9 disposals per game and was regularly a consistent ball-winner impacting at the stoppages and getting involved going forward. With 13.4 contested possessions per game - a team-high and sixth in the competition, Favell was a brilliant inside accumulator who also notched up 4.9 clearances per game.

Favell has clean skills and outstanding speed that has carried throughout her career, with the now 23-year-old having built up since been a teenage prodigy at the Murray Bushrangers. While she can at times be a touch more composed at the stoppages under pressure, Favell's ability to make good decisions means even when she is forced to throw the ball on the boot, it usually works out for her side or at least clears the danger momentarily.

With any time or space she can cut up the opposition with her combination of speed and skill, while her off-ball work such as her defensive pressure is fantastic. She is now at the age where she is entering the start of her prime and would be a readymade addition to any AFLW midfield coming off the back of a great state league apprenticeship.
