Bio: 

Mim Strom has rapidly become one of the most dominant ruck’s in the AFLW, with a career marked by continual improvement and remarkable achievements. Drafted to Fremantle with pick #21 in the 2019 AFLW Draft, Mim quickly established herself as an up-and-coming star.

Standing tall at 6'3", she is an imposing figure in the ruck and is known for her exceptional marking skills and the ability to win hit-outs to her team's advantage.

​

The 22-year-old’s breakout 2024 season saw her selected as the first ruck in the AFLW All-Australian Team, a testament to her dominance in the competition. Mim also claimed Fremantle's prestigious Fairest and Best award, further cementing her place as one of the game's brightest talents.

​

Mim’s ability to control the ruck and her work ethic have set her apart. She currently holds the record for the most hit-outs in a single AFLW game, which she has broken twice in the 2024 season. Her new league record of 56 hit-outs in the 2024 Elimination Finals shattered previous marks, making her the first AFLW player to record 50+ hit-outs in a match. She also set a new record for the most hit-outs in a season, with a remarkable 390.

​

Mim's performance in the 2024 AFLW season included multiple milestones, such as recording 48 hit-outs in her 50th game in Round 1, 48 hit-outs in Week 8, and 47 hit-outs in Week 7. Her remarkable consistency and work ethic ensure that she will remain a force in the AFLW for years to come.
