Krstel Petrevski began her professional football career in 2020. She made her debut for the Melbourne Football Club's AFLW team. This first game was a semi-final match against the GWS Giants.
Early Seasons and Challenges
In the 2021 AFLW season, Krstel started strong. She kicked two goals in the very first game against the Gold Coast Suns. However, her season was cut short after only two games. She suffered a serious hamstring injury that kept her from playing for the rest of the year.
Designing Indigenous Guernseys
Beyond playing, Krstel Petrevski has a special talent for design. In 2021, she designed the Indigenous guernsey (jersey) for the Melbourne AFLW team. This special guernsey was worn during their Round 5 game against Collingwood.
Her design skills were also recognized outside of AFLW. She was asked to design the Indigenous jersey for the Melbourne Storm rugby league team. They wore her design in a game against the Brisbane Broncos during the 2021 NRL season.
Moving to West Coast
In June 2022, Krstel Petrevski moved to a new team. She was traded to the West Coast Eagles. Another player, Isabella Simmons, also joined West Coast in the same trade. At West Coast, Krstel played alongside her cousin, Sam Petrevski-Seton, who plays for the men's AFL team.
End of Her AFLW Career
Krstel Petrevski played for West Coast until the end of the 2023 season. In December 2023, she was delisted from the team. This meant she was no longer part of the West Coast Eagles' playing list.
