Brooke Boileau (born 28 January 2005) is a professional Australian rules football player who currently plays for the Adelaide Crows in the AFL Women's (AFLW).[1]

Early life

Originally from Mount Compass Football Club, Boileau played her junior football with South Adelaide in the SANFL Women's League. Excelling at a young age, she was named in the 2023 AFL National Championships U18 Girls All-Australian Team.[2] In her successful junior year, she was also reward with a Team of the Year selection and the Coaches’ Award at South Adelaide.[3]

AFL Women's career

Boileau was drafted by Adelaide with their first pick in the 2023 national draft, and the 22nd overall. She made her debut for the club in the round one, 2024 Showdown against Port Adelaide at Alberton Oval.[4][5] She missed Adelaide's first final with a finger injury, but despite her recovery was not selected for the remainder of the finals series, managing four games in her debut season.[6][7]

She had a breakout year in 2025, becoming a mainstay in Adelaide's midfield and playing all games. She kicked her first career goal in round four against Brisbane.[8] Boileau was nominated for the 2025 Rising Star award in round seven against Sydney when she collected a career-high 17 disposals and 6 tackles in the win.[2][9] She requested a trade to Carlton following Adelaide's semi-final exit in November.[10]
