A versatile utility, she was recruited from West Adelaide Football Club in the SANFL Women's League and was selected by Adelaide with pick No. 40 in the 2022 AFL Women's draft.
Early life and junior career
Kustermann grew up in South Australia and displayed notable athleticism as an 800-metre runner before focusing on football.[1] She began playing Aussie rules at Mitchell Park Football Club and progressed through the Goodwood Saints Football Club in the Adelaide Footy League. She eventually played for West Adelaide in the SANFLW.[2]
Kustermann debuted in the SANFL Women's League as a teenager, initially playing off half-back before adding midfield roles to her game. She was known for her “clean by hand” play, strong decision-making, and versatility.[3]
In 2022, Kustermann captained South Australia’s under-18 team to an unbeaten haul in the AFLW Under-18 Championships, earning a place in the All-Australian side.[2] She also featured strongly in the SANFLW for West Adelaide and earned selection in the SANFLW Team of the Year.[1]

Playing style
Kustermann used to run the 800 meters at the state level, so she has endurance and athleticism. She can play halfback, winger, or midfielder and is known for her "penetrating kick," ability to play in different positions, and ability to use the ball under pressure. [2]
Personal life
Kustermann is the youngest of four siblings and enjoys holidaying at Marion Bay, South Australia. She is a long-distance running enthusiast and said her dream job would be to be a firefighter. [5]
