Warnbro Swans products Emma Swanson, Lauren and Zoe Wakfer have been recognised by their local club with a ceremony last week.

The ceremony included the unveiling of memorabilia of the three players, to be displayed on the club walls, before they each addressed the club’s junior girls’ program.

Swanson, the inaugural West Coast Eagles captain, was recently announced to lead the team for the sixth-straight season, the skilful midfielder providing incredible leadership and stability since her arrival.

The Wakfer twins both made their AFLW debuts in the 2023 season, and have impressed in their respective roles, Lauren as an athletic and agile ruck, and Zoe as a strong pillar in the Eagles’ back line.

“We all started out football journeys at the Warnbro Swans and it was really nice to be recognised for how far we’ve come with our footy,” Lauren Wakfer said.   

“We were joined by all the teams and got a chance to speak about our pathways to the AFLW, and hopefully shared some inspiring words to the younger generation.

“They unveiled a frame of each of us and presented us with a Warnbro jersey and were hopeful that it would inspire others at the club to reach for greatness.”
