Jessica Dal Pos

Jessica Dal Pos (also known as Jess Dal Pos, born 20 September 1993) is an Australian rules footballer playing for the Greater Western Sydney Giants in the AFL Women's competition. She was one of the Giants' four priority selections prior to the 2016 AFL Women's draft.

Her parents considered Dal Pos too small to play against the boys in under-12 football, and there was no local team for girls. She returned to football in the girls' and women's teams of the Darebin Falcons at 15, and went on to play in four Victorian Women's Football League premierships.

After playing for Western Bulldogs in the first Women's AFL exhibition game in 2013, Dal Pos was delisted. Recognizing improvement in her football over the following two years, Melbourne selected Dal Pos for the AFL exhibition series during 2015.

Prior to the 2016 AFL Women's draft, Dal Pos approached Greater Western Sydney, chose to move to Sydney from Melbourne, and negotiated selection as a priority pick.

Dal Pos finished the 2017 AFLW season with the second most tackles and centre clearances, and the third most clearances in the league. As well as finishing third for the 2017 AFLW Players' Most Courageous Award, Dal Pos was listed in the 2017 All-Australian team. She was awarded the Gabrielle Trainor Medal as Greater Western Sydney best and fairest.
