Brisbane Lions youngster Charlie Mullins is set to play her 25th AFLW game this Sunday afternoon against Hawthorn. 

Drafted from Aspley QAFLW prior to Season 7 in 2022, Mullins spent 12 months on the Lions list before getting her AFLW opportunity in 2023 season opener. 

Since then, the silky right-footer has played every game available while taking on more responsibility in her second season. 

Playing last year predominantly as a small forward, Mullins has found herself spending more time on the wing and at times in the midfield this season - becoming a consistent performer.

Rewarded with selection in the 2024 AFLPA’s 22under22 squad this week, Mullins was grateful for her opportunity but is eyeing team success in the short term. 

“It means a lot to be playing 25 games this weekend, I’ve been part of this Club forever through the Lions Academy and now at AFLW level,” Mullins said. 

“Coming into this team last year was an amazing experience winning a flag, but this group of girls are amazing to be around day in and day out, so that makes coming into the Club so enjoyable. 

“It’s been a great year for me personally, but we are focussed on going deep into finals this season and I know everyone in the group is really motivated to do that.” 

Mullins 25-game milestone comes as the Lions travel to Melbourne this weekend to take on Hawthorn in the Second Qualifying Final at IKON Park from 1:05pm on Sunday afternoon.
