AFL coach Danielle Laidley named one of Australia’s Hottest 100 Women by Maxim magazine – as she beats Down Under’s biggest WAG

Danielle Laidley made Makim Australia’s Hot 100 this week, coming in at number 92 for her contribution to AFL and trans activism.

The former football coach and player, 56, retired in front of biggest WAG Down Under Rebecca Judd and her sister Kate Twigley.

She also beat Foreign Affairs Minister Penny Wong, Victorian Senator Lydia Thorpe and Queensland Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk.

Dani declined to comment on her admission to the exclusive list.

Makim released its annual 2023 Hot 100 list on Wednesday, which showcases the most successful and beautiful women in entertainment, sports and pop culture.

At the top of the list is actress Margot Robbie (33), whose Hollywood career continues to shine after the release of her latest film Barbie.

Barbie became Warner Bros.’ biggest domestic film ever, grossing $537 million at the U.S. box office and grossing a total of $1.2 billion in theaters worldwide.

It’s the second year in a row and a record fourth time that Margot has topped the Hot 100.

Matildas football star Sam Kerr also came in second, followed by Delta Goodrem and Sophie Monk.

Former Bachelor star and podcaster Abby Chatfield, 28, came in at number nine, while Married At First Sight star Evelyn Ellis made the list at number 10.

Meanwhile, Kayne West’s wife Bianca Censori came in at number 18.

The couple hit the headlines after their long vacation in Italy, which saw scandalous ensembles and raunchy controversy.

Voice Australia presenter Sonia Kruger came in at 36th place, while Nicole Kidman was at 48th.

Just a few places below Kidman is KIIS FM presenter Jackie ‘O’ Henderson, who came in 60th.

She is considered Australia’s most successful woman in radio thanks to her 21-year run hosting Sydney’s top FM breakfast show with Kyle Sandilands.
