Early life
Gaunt grew up in Queensland and was active in athletics, particularly triple jump, where she placed ninth in a national junior competition.[2] She began playing Australian rules football at the age of 13 after encouragement from her father, who suggested her height and athletic ability would suit the game.[2]

At the 2024 AFLW National Draft Combine, Gaunt placed in the top ten nationally for both standing and running vertical leap tests.[4]
AFLW career
Gaunt was drafted by Port Adelaide with pick 48 in the 2024 AFLW Draft.[1] Her selection was part of a strong Queensland cohort, with eight players from the state chosen that year.[3]
She made her senior debut in Round 2 of the 2025 season. AAP coverage of the match against North Melbourne noted her rotation through the ruck as part of Port Adelaide’s forward structure.[5]
Playing style
At 182 cm, Gaunt has been used mainly as a key forward with the flexibility to play in the ruck. She has been described as a strong contested mark with an athletic leap and the ability to impact inside the forward 50.[4][2]
