Western Bulldogs winger Jasmyn Smith has played just seven AFLW games, but is one of the main faces promoting this season. A TikTok video shot her to social media fame overnight.
Western Bulldogs winger Jasmyn Smith arrived at Whitten Oval this year with just five games under her belt.
“I was like, what’s going on? Especially since, like, I’m a new player, I’m a young player, like, I’m freshly in the system. I’m still just trying to find my feet in AFLW and I just want to play footy and learn.”Now, Smith has the second-largest number of Instagram followers among AFLW players – behind only Melbourne’s Tayla Harris . Collingwood’s Sarah Rowe comes in next, followed by Brisbane Lion Orla O’Dwyer , Richmond captain Katie Brennan , and Fremantle’s Ash Brazill .
“So it was a little bit random, but no, I think in a way, I really appreciate it because it has opened me up to a new platform and a new reach to a different demographic that might not have originally been supporting AFLW, and now they’re coming along to our games and things like that.‘Sliming’ Sally Pearson
“I gained a bit of a platform through that but then once I got into AFLW, I gained, like, even more… And, yeah, it’s definitely something that I’m into and I want to use to promote AFLW because the more spectators and the more people talking about it the better,” Smith said.
