Ash Brazill has shown it’s possible to combine AFLW and netball (in her case for Collingwood). Though Ash did sit out the last season of AFLW in order to concentrate on her (very successful) bid for Commonwealth Games netball selection.
Unfortunately, even if Gretel did choose an AFLW career she would likely play for Gold Coast not the Swans.
