Laura Roy moved to Morningside Panthers to take part in the QAFLW's newest side's inaugural top flight season, and came away as one of the premier players in the competition. She racked up 23.3 disposals and 5.8 clearances per game, while also booting a ridiculous 29 goals from her 19 matches. Granted, 10 of those came in a mind-boggling performance against the battling Yeronga South Brisbane, but she still had days out of five and four goals - meaning 19 of her 29 came across three games.

She was amongst the Panthers' best just about every match, and earned Team of the Year honours as her side raced to the grand final. Always a strong contested player with natural ball-winning ability, Roy can also play down back or up forward, with a penetrative kick that can breakdown opposition defensive zones.

While Roy is not the fastest or most athletic player, she is just a fantastic footballer. The Queenslander makes good decisions, impacts the scoreboard, works hard defensively, and ticks all the boxes you hope from the footballing element. If a club overlooks the need for explosiveness, then Roy can certainly add something to any side.
