YASMIN Duursma will join the Navy Blues for the 2024 season. 

As well as acquiring Duursma, the trade will see Carlton also receive pick No.25 in the deal, with Port Adelaide receiving pick No.21.  

Duursma joined Port Adelaide in 2022, taken with pick Port’s fifth pick in the 2022 AFLW Draft. 

Playing on the wing, Duursma has a strong running capacity and can creatively and effectively use the ball. She has the ability to win the ball back in the air and prides herself on her endurance base and work rate. 

Her playing style will complement her new teammates, including close friend Keeley Skepper, through the midfield.  

With already 11 games under her belt, Duursma is excited to further develop and grow her football when she joins the Blues.   

A family football affair, Duursma returns to Victoria, where brothers Xavier (Essendon) and Zane (North Melbourne) are also on AFL lists after moves in the off-season. 

Head of AFLW Ash Naulty said Duursma was an excellent addition to the side.  

“It's great to see Yasmin requesting to join the Blues. From the get-go it shows her belief in the new era here at the Club,” Naulty said.   

“We have a strong belief in the program that we are building. It is pleasing to see that externally people are backing the program as something that they not only want to support but also want to be a part of.   

“Yasmin has a genuine love for football and is motivated to grow in her knowledge of the game and develop her craft.  

“We cannot wait to see what Yasmin can achieve here at the Blues.”
