Christina Bernardi (born 7 June 1990) is an Australian rules footballer who has played for Collingwood, Greater Western Sydney, Richmond and Carlton in the AFL Women's (AFLW). In 2018, she was Collingwood's leading goalkicker and was selected in the All-Australian team.
Early life
Bernardi was introduced to football by future teammate and captain Steph Chiocci, after they met at RMIT University where they studied teaching,[1] and played for the RMIT Redbacks.[2] She joined VFLW club Diamond Creek in 2012. After kicking 33 goals in the 2016 season as a small forward, she missed the grand final against Darebin Falcons due to having committed to a volunteering trip in South Africa.[1][3][4]
AFL Women's career
Collingwood (2017–2018)
In October 2016, Bernardi was drafted by Collingwood, joining 13 other players from Diamond Creek who were drafted to AFLW clubs.[5] She played in a pre-season practice match against the Western Bulldogs, scoring Collingwood's first goal.[6] She made her debut in round 1, 2017, in the inaugural AFLW match at IKON Park against Carlton.[7]
Collingwood re-signed Bernardi for the 2018 season during the trade period in May 2017.[8]
Greater Western Sydney (2019)
Ahead of the 2019 season, Bernardi was traded to Greater Western Sydney as part of a 5-way deal, including Talia Radan and 12 picks.[9]
Richmond (2020–2022 (S6))
Bernardi joined Richmond in the expansion club signing period in April 2019.[10] In May 2022, she was delisted by Richmond.[11]
Carlton (2022 (S7))
In September 2022, Bernardi was added to Carlton's list after injuries meant the club wouldn't have been able to field a 24-person squad.[12] She debuted for the club in Round 5 against Melbourne.
On 13 March 2023, Bernardi was announced as the VFLW captain for 2023.
