The pair have committed for the next two seasons and join a cast of Grand Final heroes set to return for season six of the AFLW.

Veteran Lutkins proved she is still at the top of her game when she pipped a host of strong performers to claim the MVP in the Lions’ 18-point AFLW Grand Final victory over Adelaide.

2021 was a breakthrough year for 22-year-old Davidson who emerged as one of the most commanding key forwards in the competition in just her second season in the big league.

AFLW Most Competitive: Dakota Davidson

The player who displays a ruthless, competitive and fierce attitude all season. None other than Dakota Davidson.

Lions Head of Womens Football Bree Brock said it was an exciting time for the Club to have locked away extensions of two crucial members of coach Craig Starcevich’s team.

“Having our most senior player and one of our young guns both extending out till season seven is another great win for us,’’ she said.

“Both girls grew up in Ipswich and this extension means they will be with us when we open our new home, Brighton Homes Arena in 2023, which will be really exciting for them and their families.

“The faith these two have in the team, Club and what the future looks like is evident with their extension.

“Both great people to have around the club, their energy is infectious, and both are popular teammates and fan favourites.’’
