Matilda Lucas-Rodd (born 18 April 1996) is an Australian rules footballer who plays for the St Kilda Football Club in the AFL Women's competition (AFLW). She was drafted by Carlton with the 99th overall selection in the 2016 AFL Women's draft,[1] making her debut in Round 1, 2017, in the league's inaugural match at Ikon Park against Collingwood.[2] In round 5 she earned a nomination for the 2017 AFLW Rising Star award following her match against Fremantle.[3] Lucas-Rodd finished 2017 having played in all seven of Carlton's matches that season.[4]
In April 2019, Lucas-Rodd was delisted by Carlton.[5] However, she was soon picked up by St Kilda and helped lead their maiden season in the VFLW, finishing 2nd on the ladder and making the preliminary final before succumbing to eventual premiers Collingwood.[6] Her season was capped off by winning the club's best and fairest award, as well as receiving a place in the VFLW Team of the Year.[7][8] It was revealed Lucas-Rodd had signed on with the Saints for two more years on 30 June 2021, tying her to the club until the end of the 2022/2023 season.[9]
Lucas-Rodd's partner is Collingwood AFLW co-captain Brianna Davey.[10]
