Ruby Svarc (born 28 September 1993) is an Australian rules footballer who plays for Brisbane in the AFL Women's (AFLW).
Svarc is from Corowa, New South Wales and grew up on a farm with older sister Cathy Svarc[2] in a family passionate about Australian rules.[3]
She played for Essendon in the VFL Women's before being drafted by Brisbane with the 38th pick in the 2020 AFL Women's draft.
She spent the 2021 season on the Lions' list without making her debut and was announced as a delisting at the end of the season. She was, however, shortly afterwards reinstated to the Lions' list for 2022 season 6,[4] and made her AFLW debut in round 3 that season in the Lions' win against Carlton at Carrara Stadium.[5]
She won the inaugural AFL Women's Grand Final sprint in 2021.[6]
