THERE'S no shortage of talent in the AFLW competition, but there's also no shortage of personality either.

Amid AFLW season 2024, AFL.com.au posed some curly questions to a handful of the competition's best players.

Next up is Hawthorn midfielder Mattea Breed, who is enjoying a breakout season this year under new coach Daniel Webster.

From her biggest fear to a Shrek-related doppelganger, some of the answers did surprise us.

But there's more to Mattea than her footy ability.
