Keeley Kustermann is one of those players that just ticks a lot of boxes. She does not necessarily have one elite trait, but instead, has a lot of well above average traits that make her a valuable prospect. Possessing clean hands and neat foot skills on the outside, a high work rate, good decision making and nice balance, she is someone who can play in multiple roles - and has done so, predominantly between half-back and midfield.

In 2022, Kustermann went inside more permanently for West Adelaide, and doubled her disposal numbers, while also impacting around the clearances. Though her efficiency did drop under more pressure - similar to Charlotte Baskaran when she moved inside in 2021 - Kustermann is damaging with time and space. Often the talented teenager is better on the move and able to see everything in front of her to size up, and pick the right option.

Though not a massive influencer in the front half - she kicked just one goal for West Adelaide this year, albeit in a wooden spoon side - Kustermann is someone who can be creative and set scoring chances up for others. Not a speedy or explosive player by any means, Kustermann still works hard to find space and consistently get into ball-winning positions. She can find the ball in all areas of the ground, and is more than happy to be a defensively minded player if need be, laying almost seven tackles per game in the SANFLW.

Cool, calm and composed with ball-in-hand, Kustermann makes good decisions and is a player who will likely start her AFLW career off half-back. She reads the ball well behind the play, and was rewarded for her AFLW Under 18 Championships form with a spot in the All-Australian side. As someone who will only get better with more midfield minutes, Kustermann is a reliable player each and every week.
