Alice O'Loughlin (born 8 July 2002) is a professional Australian rules footballer playing for North Melbourne in the AFL Women's (AFLW).[1]
She was initially drafted to North Melbourne with pick 22 in the 2020 AFL Women's draft.[2]
AFL Women's career
O'Loughlin made her debut in round 1 of the 2021 season against Geelong.
She had a breakout season in 2024, kicking 19 goals for the season and becoming her club's leading goalkicker in a premiership year. She was also selected in the All-Australian team for the first time and earned her second selection in the 22 Under 22 team. Late in 2025, O'Loughlin suffered a rare internal injury as she lacerated her liver in a match against Carlton.[3] Despite the injury, O'Loughlin's success was compounded in 2025 as she won back-to-back premierships with North Melbourne.[4][5]
