Ebony O’Dea has built a reputation as a fierce defender, known for her strong tackling and on-ball abilities. She played every possible game for the club in 2022 and 2023, and has really shown her strong value in the backline. A solid all-rounder in defence, O’Dea has confessed her love for the tough stuff – the contested footy – and every facet of her game backs that up to be true.
Joining Port Adelaide from Collingwood in 2022, O’Dea has proven she knows what takes to perform and succeed at the elite level – a valued trait in a young side. The former Norwood player is a unicycling world record holder and a Rubik’s Cube fanatic – just a couple of quirks that add to her unique character. She has previously been awarded the Players' Player award at Port Adelaide's Best and Fairest (2022), a testament to her value to her teammates both on and off the field.
