After a dominant 2020 AFLW season, Kiara Bowers wants to get ever better for 2021.
The midfielder, who was on Monday named the AFLPA’s ‘most courageous player’, hopes to add size and strength in the coming in the off-season.
Bowers almost doubled the tackle count of any other player in 2020 and hopes to increase the gap on her opponents.
"I don't think I'm going backwards any time soon," Bowers told AAP.
"I'm just as fit as I was and just as strong.
"If I can put on a couple more kilos that might be a bit helpful ... but I believe (I can improve) and the off-season is always good to get those things in check.
"I am actually really lucky that I really like training, so I spend most of my days at work (as a carpenter) and then straight after work I go to the gym at home.
"There's lots of running, biking and weightlifting."
Bowers said she was devastated after the 2020 season was called off a week into the finals series with Freo unbeaten for the year.
She hopes Freo can take that momentum into their 2021 campaign.
"We'll go out of the season upset with the way it finished but also very happy that we were able to go out there and not be beaten," Bowers said.
"At the end we were a really strong team and we can go into next season just as strong, if not even better and harder to beat."
