Emily Bates and the Brisbane Lions AFLW team are doing their part to help in the fight against skin cancer and promote the importance of sun safety.

With the team playing most of their matches during the day at a time when the temperature was at its highest, initially their choice to wear long sleeves was an interesting one.Teammates wear jerseys because 'they looked cool'

"I have to be cautious now, it's not ideal for me to be in the sun all the time but I just have to take extra care." She is not fussed if this was because players wanted protection from the sun or simply liked the look of wearing long sleeves during a match, as it is all about promoting the message of sun safety.

Even if that does not come about she is happy to take on the role as an unlikely advocate for sun safety.
