McEvoy

A natural leader and one of the clear standouts of the draft pool, Lucy McEvoy officially became a Blue after being selected with pick No.2 in the 2019 NAB AFL Women’s Draft. McEvoy was an All-Australian in 2019 after starring in the NAB League, the NAB AFLW Under 18 Championships (Vic Country) and VFLW competition (Geelong).

McEvoy is the cousin of Hawthorn Captain and former St Kilda ruckman Ben McEvoy. Lucy's father Phillip McEvoy played 50 Reserves games from 1979 to 1981 for the Blues.

McEvoy made her debut against Richmond at Ikon Park in the opening round of the 2020 season. She signed a 2-year contract with Carlton on 10 June 2021, after it was revealed the team had conducted a mass re-signing of 13 players. In March 2023, McEvoy joined Sydney during the priority signing period.

Recruited from: Geelong Falcons/Geelong VFLW.
