Annabel Johnson is an Australian rules footballer who played for West Coast in the AFL Women's (AFLW). She has previously played for Geelong. Johnson was recruited by Geelong with the 15th pick in the 2021 AFL Women's draft.^[1]^[2]

Statistics

Johnson debuted for Geelong in the opening round of 2022 AFL Women's season 6.^[3] On debut, Johnson collected 6 disposals and 3 marks.^[4] After stringing together four games, Johnson suffered a foot fracture in the team's round 5 win against West Coast, keeping her out of the team for the remainder of the season.^[5]^[6]

Her 2022 season 7 was a much more successful year. Playing every game, she became an important part of Geelong's backline, making the initial 44 player squad of the 22under22 team at the conclusion of the season.^[7]

2023 was a challenging year as Johnson managed just one game before a knee injury ruled her out from Round 2 onwards.

Ahead of the 2024 AFL Women's season, Johnson was traded to West Coast.^[8]

She missed the 2024 season with an ACL injury^[9] and experienced setbacks during the 2025 season before debuting for the Eagles in Round 6 against Melbourne in Round 6. She would go on to play 3 further games before being delisted at the end of the season.^[10]
