Lions’ Den A Buzz As Hornets' Charlotte Mullins Drafted

220300_AFLW_Draft_Article_header_Charlotte_mullins.jpg


There’s a buzz about the Lions’ den with the Aspley Hornets' Charlotte Mullins headed to the Lions at Pick 70 in Wednesday evening’s 2022 NAB AFLW Draft.

The 15th Lions Academy player to join the squad, Mullins is a versatile midfielder with plenty of upside.

The 17-year-old has showcased her high football IQ and class with ball in hand across a range of roles for the Hornets this QAFLW season.

A home-grown Queensland talent, Mullins joins fellow draftee Ella Smith as the next generation of AFLW talent to be drafted out of the Aspley Football Club as the game continues to grow across South East Queensland.

Head Coach Craig Starcevich believes the Mullins’ style and work ethic will complement that of the current squad.

“Charlie is small midfielder/forward who is a clean ball winner and precise user by foot,” Starcevich said.

“She shows great courage and toughness in and around the contest and applies plenty of defensive pressure.

“Whilst she’s happy to get inside 50 to assist with scoring, what has really grabbed our attention is her willingness to get back into the defensive 50 to help her team win the ball back. That type of work ethic fits nicely with our game style.”

Charlie Mullins.

She's improved out of sight this pre-season. Her running ability and pressure has gone to another level and she's always so composed with the footy in hand!

Charlie Mullins.

Her growth has been massive. Attacks the ball, puts her head over the footy. Skilful and reads the ball well.

Tigers rally late to snatch thriller over Lions

Did you see that?

In her first AFLW game, things could not have started better for young Lion Charlotte Mullins, who kicked a goal with her first touch in the big time. After being drafted prior to season seven, Mullins sat out to complete her final year of school, but wasted no time in making her mark on debut. After taking a mark at the top of the goalsquare from a cleverly centred Orla O'Dwyer kick, Mullins went back and slotted the goal, much to the excitement of her teammates.

Lethal Lions hit overdrive to record first Springfield win

A new Lion to watch

The Lions look to have unearthed another clever half-forward in Charlotte Mullins. The off-season departure of Greta Bodey to Hawthorn opened the door for another forward, and after spending last season on the list without playing as she completed high school, Mullins has made every post a winner in her three games to date. She kicked the first goal against the Swans, finishing with 15 disposals and two goals but it's the nuance to her game that's most eye-catching, with her instinctive shepherd to pave the way for a Sophie Conway goal particularly clever.

Mullins 25-Game Milestone Kicks Off Second Finals Campaign

240293_AFLW_Milestone_Graphic_Charlie_Mullins_Article_Header-46-.jpg


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.

Mullins Strong Season Recognised with 22under22 Selection

Charlie_Mullins_22under22_Article_Header.jpg


Brisbane Lions forward Charlie Mullins has been rewarded for her stellar 2024 season with selection in the AFL Players Association 22under22 team.

Mullins’ selection in the team comes off the back of a career year so far for the 20-year-old who has taken on a bigger role playing on the wing and in the midfield throughout the year.

Lions AFLW captain Bre Koenen was full of praise for Mullins who took the opportunity of different roles around the ground with both hands.

“Charlie has worked extremely hard this year and it’s clear to see that with her performance on field so far this season,” Koenen said.

“It’s culminated in a well-deserved recognition of her year being selected in the 22under22 team.

“She’s someone who doesn’t say a lot but shows it with her actions on-field and at training, we’re incredibly proud of her.”

Averaging 14 touches an increase on her 11.5 disposals average through her career so far, Mullins has become an important ball user for the Lions going into forward 50 and coming out of defensive 50.

Players are selected by the AFL Players Association based on match statistics from Champion Data.

Due to such a high number of quality candidates, the squad was increased to 44 for Season 7 (previously 40).

The concept was first introduced to reward young players who make an impact on their Club and the competition so early in their careers, with this edition the fourth iteration of the AFLW 22Under22.
