Excerpts from Moana's official bio page (7/31/18):

"A celebrated and powerhouse player for Women’s Aussie Rules Football, Moana made a name for herself on the field as one of the leading goal kickers for Collingwood Football Club.

Now signed onto a new home at North Melbourne Kangaroos, Moana has been one of the country’s most exciting female footballers since she was 16. With the encouragement of her father, Moana turned to football as an outlet to help her get through difficult teen years.

“When I was three, my Dad gave me a footy and I didn’t let it go from that point. He is one of my biggest motivations in life and in football.”

One of 14 kids, Moana’s family means everything to her. She is the primary carer for her younger sister, Lavinia, who suffers from Moebius Syndrome, a rare neurological condition.

“I really don’t know what to expect doing this. I hope I can go out there with a fighting spirit and can handle all the elements thrown at me but this is something I never thought I’d be a part of and I want to do it right.

“It’s going to be a wild time and I just really want to do it for my family and friends to show them they can do anything.” "

Official Ten SurvivorAU: All-Stars bio excerpts (February 3, 2020):

"Back for redemption and a second chance for the win, Moana is excited to get to the island and get started. Feeling that she’s got some unfinished business, she’s not going to let this opportunity slide by.

Sadly for Moana, she was unwell during her season and left the game feeling like she hadn’t been able to give it her all. When the opportunity came to join All Stars, Moana was ready to go. “I’m the underdog. Nobody knows what I’m capable of and in some ways, being sick last time should make everyone underestimate me this time. I wasn’t able to play as hard as I would’ve liked in my first season, so I definitely have some unfinished business.”

Moana recently got married to her long-time partner, Bella so leaving her and her younger sister Vinny behind was a big decision. As the fulltime caretaker for Vinny, working full time and an advocate for AFLW, Moana always has a lot on her plate.

While her greatest fear on Australian Survivor is being eaten by a shark, Moana knows her more realistic concern is falling for what people tell her: “I can trust the wrong person and can be too nice.”

Moana is keen to see some of her old friends like Sharn, Lydia and Mat who she says became like a brother to her last time. They have remained close since."
