ASHLEIGH SAINT will join a select group of players to achieve 50 AFLW games in her next match, headlining a list of potential Port Adelaide milestones in the 2024 AFLW season.

Saint is currently on 49 AFLW games following the nine she played in her debut season at Port Adelaide in 2023.

The 25-year-old also previously played four for Melbourne and 36 for Adelaide.

Three other Port Adelaide players are also in line to reach their 50-game milestone including Hannah Dunn (45 so far), Ebony O’Dea (41) and Cheyenne Hammond (40).

Only three players on Port Adelaide’s list this season have previously reached 50 AFLW games with Justine Mules the most experienced of the Power squad with 68 games.

New recruit Kirsty Lamb has played 67 times at previous club the Western Bulldogs while Gemma Houghton has played 60 times including 14 games for Port Adelaide.

Dunn played one game for Greater Western Sydney and 24 for Gold Coast after making her AFLW debut for the Giants in 2017.

O’Dea’s 41 games are comprised of 21 at Collingwood before her 20 at Port Adelaide, while Hammond appeared 22 times for Gold Coast before making the move to Alberton.

Dunn, O’Dea and Hammond are also among a group of eleven players set to reach 25 AFLW games for the club in season 2024.

Ange Foley, O’Dea and Dunn have played all 20 of Port Adelaide’s AFLW games so far, as have young guns Abbey Dowrick and Amelie Borg, and each requires five games to get to 25 in the colours.

Others on track to get to 25 club games include Mules, Hannah Ewings, Sachi Syme and Alex Ballard, though if Port Adelaide plays some finals Houghton and a handful of other players could also reach the milestone.

The AFLW season will officially kick off in the last week of August, with the squad returning for official pre-season training duties on June 3.
