One of those players who has always had draftable qualities, the Central District youngster finally pieced it all together in 2025. Coming away with the Bulldogs' best and fairest this season, Williams was arguably not quite ready for the next level as a teenager, but her progression over the past few seasons has been noticeable. Now having just turned 21, Williams is producing high level SANFLW football and should return to draft discussions.

Her kicking efficiency can still be hit and miss and could do with some polishing, while her aerial has always been her biggest knock. However the rest of her game is in very good order, and her form over the last two months of the SANFLW season was simply ridiculous. From Round 6 until Round 14, Williams averaged 7.8 clearances per game, and only four less than leading clearance-winner Isobel Kuiper during the same period.

Williams has some nice athletic traits as well, headlined by her speed where she can mow down opponents. Not only is she willing to do that, but she actively enjoys it with her right balance of aggression and competitiveness coming out. She will likely need another season to show the same consistency and go up another level, but that last two months was good enough to make the jump. Photo credit: Captured by Kelly
