Carlton has secured the services of Bianca ‘BJ’ Jakobsson, selecting the forward with its first selection in the AFL Women's draft.

Hailed as one of the elite players in this year’s talent pool she will further strengthen the Blues’ forward line.

The 23-year-old has “incredible” athletic attributes according to senior women’s coach Damien Keeping, matching her ability to take strong contested marks.

“Bianca has supreme decision-making skills when she has the ball,” Keeping said.

“Not only will she aid our forward line, but she has the versatility to play a role through the midfield and down back when required.”

After recovering from a severe knee injury, Jakobsson was named the Western Bulldogs most influential player in the team’s win over Western Australia earlier this year – a true testament of her character.

Welcome, Bianca!

Bianca Jakobsson says playing for Carlton is a dream come true

BIANCA Jakobsson grew up supporting Carlton and idolised Chris Judd, and dreamed she would one day pull on the navy blue jumper.

But what seemed a pipedream back then became reality last year when the AFL announced it’s new national women’s competition and the Blues used their first draft pick (No.3 overall) to snap up the contested-marking forward.

Thank goodness we selected her, could not stand 10 trade periods of "she barracked for Carlton as a kid, we can get her as a free agent".

Should set the standard for playing in the Navy Blue.
