Bio: Everist is a relative newcomer to the sport, having played soccer for most of her junior career. She was drafted to Hawthorn off the back of a solid 2022 NAB League Girls campaign for Bendigo, in which she averaged eight disposals, two marks and two rebound 50s. She then represented Vic Country and took her game to the next level with 10 disposals, three tackles and two marks across her U18 campaign. A big feature of Everist’s game is her endurance, ranking fourth in the AFLW combine time trial before placing in the top five of Hawthorn’s time trial in back-to-back years. She suited up for four games in her debut AFLW season.
