Early life

In 2019, Patrikios was named in the All-Australian team at that year's national championships and the NAB League Girls team of the year.[1]

AFL Women's career

Patrikios was drafted by St Kilda with the club's first selection and the fifth pick overall in the 2019 AFL Women's draft.[2] She made her debut against the Western Bulldogs at RSEA Park in the opening round of the 2020 season and was nominated for the 2020 AFL Women's Rising Star award for her 18-disposal performance in that match.[3][4] Patrikios went on to be selected in the initial 40-woman squad for the 2020 AFL Women's All-Australian team,[5][6][7] and was also selected in the AFL Players Association's inaugural AFL Women's 22under22 team[8][9][10] and named the AFLW Players' best first-year player for that season.[8][11][12] She was also named as one of four inaugural St Kilda best and fairest winners later that year, alongside Rosie Dillon, Caitlin Greiser and Olivia Vesely.[13][14]

Leading into the 2021 season, womens.afl journalist Sarah Black named Patrikios at no. 30 on her annual list of the top 30 players in the AFLW.[15] Patrikios was best afield for St Kilda in their round 1 win over the Western Bulldogs, accumulating a career-high 23 disposals and kicking her first career goal,[16] and was selected in womens.afl's Team of the Week for that round.[17]
