We often hear about the stars on the field, but what about the unsung heroes – the ones who work tirelessly behind the scenes to make it all possible? In the world of footy, Jessie Bickerton is one such legend and AFL Victoria are giving her and other local legends the recognition they deserve.
AFL Victoria’s Local Legends campaign is shining a spotlight on individuals like Jessie – the heartbeat of local clubs and communities. Her dedication to women’s footy has made a huge impact; it’s carved out a path for future generations of women in sport.
From being a photographer, team manager and more, Jessie’s contributions have shaped our culture, broke down barriers, and fostered inclusivity.
As we applaud Jessie’s achievements, let’s also remember the countless other local legends like her at St Mary’s, who embody the true essence of the game.
