From refusing to eat vegetables and salad, to her celebrity doppelganger, there’s plenty you might not know about Adelaide’s Caitlin Gould.
THERE’S no shortage of talent in the AFLW competition, but there’s also no shortage of personality either.
As we head into the finals for AFLW season 2024, AFL.com.au posed some curly questions to a handful of the competition’s best players.
Next up is Adelaide forward/ruck Caitlin Gould, whose has become an important presence in Adelaide’s forward line this season.
From her greatest fear to the food she simply refuses to touch, some of the answers did surprise us.
But there’s more to Caitlin than her footy ability.

Adelaide, South Australia.
What’s your greatest fear?
Getting old.
What’s something no one really knows about you?

Bit of an ick not liking coffee…so OJ is my go-to.
