Molly O'Hehir navigates AFL and AFLW career while supporting Ryley Sanders

Melbourne AFLW defender Molly O'Hehir balances her professional commitments with supporting her partner, Western Bulldogs AFL player Ryley Sanders. O'Hehir regularly attends games to watch Sanders, though she avoids wearing Bulldogs team apparel while in the club rooms. The couple moved to Melbourne together following O'Hehir's selection in the 2024 Telstra AFLW Draft. Sanders opted to remain in Victoria with the Bulldogs in part to support O'Hehir's developing career, citing the difficulty of leaving her during her debut season. Both players rely on each other to manage the challenges of relocating to a new city while maintaining their respective careers. O'Hehir, who hails from Western Australia, currently holds a spot on the Melbourne list as the team continues its 2026 campaign.
