Early life
Prespakis is the daughter of Damien and Jody.[1] Her mother is an Indigenous Australian from the Djadjawurrung tribe.[2] Prespakis has three siblings: twins Annalea and Madison, and Jimmy.[1] Older sister Madison currently plays for Essendon.
She played junior football with the boys in Romsey, crossing to Sunbury to play in the under-18 girls' competition.[3] Picked up by the Calder Cannons development program, she took out the competition's best and fairest in 2019. Prespakis won her second best and fairest award in 2021, scoring seven best-on-ground votes in just nine appearances for the Cannons.[4]
Prespakis finished the 2021 season playing with Essendon in the VFL Women's competition, playing five matches (including three finals), her last game coming against Geelong Cats at Windy Hill.
AFL Women's career
Geelong recruited Prespakis with their first selection and second overall in the 2021 AFL Women's draft. She made her AFL Women's debut in the opening round of the 2022 season against North Melbourne at Arden Street Oval, a game in which she was nominated for the 2022 AFL Women's Rising Star award. In March, Prespakis was included in the 40-player squad for the AFL Players Association 22under22 team,[5] and was named on the wing in the final 22under22 team.[6]
In round 1 of AFL Women's season seven, Prespakis kicked Geelong's only two goals, including one in the last minute to score a 15–11 victory over Richmond at GMHBA Stadium.[7]
