Jamie Stanton (born 7 November 1995) is an Australian rules footballer playing for the Gold Coast Suns in the AFL Women's (AFLW). She previously played for the Brisbane Lions from 2017 to 2018 and the North Melbourne Football Club in 2019. Stanton was the inaugural Gold Coast Club Champion in her first season at the club in 2020.

Early life[]

Stanton grew up on the Gold Coast where she attended St Andrews Lutheran College[1] and excelled in soccer, earning selection for the junior Matildas as a teenager.[2] Following high school graduation, she accepted a four-year soccer scholarship to attend Lindsey Wilson College in Kentucky but lost passion for the sport and returned to Queensland after one year in the United States.[3] She then began playing Australian rules football for the first time at 19 when she was invited to play for Coolangatta Tweed Heads in the Queensland Women's Australian Football League (QWAFL).

AFL Women's career[]

Stanton was recruited by Brisbane with the 127th selection in the 2016 AFL Women's draft. She made her debut in the Lions' inaugural game against Melbourne at Casey Fields on 5 February 2017.[4] Brisbane signed Stanton for the 2018 season during the trade period in May 2017.[5]

In May 2018, Stanton joined expansion team North Melbourne for the 2019 AFL Women's season.[6]

In April 2019, Stanton left North Melbourne to return to Queensland and join new expansion team Gold Coast for the 2020 AFL Women's season.[7] She made her Gold Coast debut in the club's inaugural game against Greater Western Sydney at Blacktown ISP Oval, and was named among Gold Coast's best players.[8] Stanton was best afield in Gold Coast's inaugural win against Richmond at Metricon Stadium the following week,[9] playing a shutdown role despite a shoulder injury during the game,[10] and was selected in womens.afl's Team of the Week for that round.[11] Finishing the season as one of fourteen players to have played the most AFL Women's matches to that point with 30,[12] she went on to be selected in the initial 40-woman squad for the 2020 AFL Women's All-Australian team[13][14][15] and was the inaugural Gold Coast Club Champion.[16][17]
