Carys D’Addario is a tenacious and influential midfielder drafted by St Kilda with Pick 61 in the 2025 AFLW National Draft, following a standout season that established her as one of Western Australia’s premier young talents.
D’Addario developed her game through Swan Districts in the WAFLW, where she became known for her elite ball-winning ability, clean hands and strong stoppage craft. Across the 2025 season, she produced consistent midfield performances, including influential outings in finals football, highlighting her contested strength, composure and ability to impact games around the ball.
At state championship level, D’Addario’s ball-winning ability and decision-making were further recognised when she claimed Western Australia’s MVP honours at the Under 18s National Championships. An accomplished inside midfielder, she combines strong defensive instincts with a powerful kick, making her a consistent clearance threat and a reliable two-way contributor.
Her selection by St Kilda caps an impressive draft year and marks the beginning of a promising AFLW career built on competitiveness, skill and football intelligence.
