Gabriella Pound (born 16 October 1994) is an Australian rules footballer playing for the Carlton Football Club in the AFL Women's competition (AFLW). She was drafted by Carlton with the club's fourth selection and the thirtieth overall in the 2016 AFL Women's draft.[1] She made her debut in Round 1, 2017, in the club and the league's inaugural match at Ikon Park against Collingwood.[2] A consistent 2019 season as a running half back flanker with clean disposal, saw Gabriella awarded the honour of a place in The All Australian Team. She signed a 2-year contract with Carlton on 10 June 2021, after it was revealed the team had conducted a mass re-signing of 13 players.[3] Pound is of Sri Lankan descent through her father.[4]
