Imogen Barnett (born 11 July 1995) is an Australian rules footballer who plays for the Collingwood Football Club in the AFL Women's (AFLW).

Early career

Barnett began her football journey with Old Trinity in the Victorian Amateur Football Association (VAFA). While at Old Trinity, she played mainly as a ruck and won the William Buck Premier Women's Best and Fairest award in 2019. She also represented the Big V representative team.[1]

Barnett later joined Collingwood's VFL Women's (VFLW) team, where she moved into a key forward role. In the 2021 VFL Women's season, she was the VFLW's leading goalkicker, kicking 21 goals from 13 matches.[2]

AFLW career

Barnett was selected by Collingwood with pick 33 in the 2021 AFL Women's draft.[3] She made her AFLW debut in the 2022 (S6) season against St Kilda and has since become part of Collingwood's forward line.[4]

In the 2024 season, Barnett played 11 games, averaging 8.1 disposals, 2.5 marks, and 3.2 tackles per game.[5]

In December 2024, she signed a two-year contract extension with Collingwood, committing to the club until at least the end of the 2026 season.[6]

In December 2025, following a consistent and career-best season, in which she averaged 11.4 disposals a game, Barnett extended her contract by another year until at least the end of the 2027 season.[7]

Personal life

While playing football, Barnett also works as a pediatric nurse, with both careers being very demanding of her time.[8]
