Controversy

While playing for Magpies, Ravaillion began a relationship with Adam Treloar, who at the time was playing for Collingwood Football Club. After Ravaillion announced she would be rejoining Queensland Firebirds for the 2021 season, speculation began to grow about Treloar's future at Collingwood. Collingwood allegedly claimed Treloar wouldn't be able to cope if Ravaillion moved interstate. However, Ravaillion claimed that Collingwood were using her move as an excuse to offload Treloar because of his $800,000 a year contract. Treloar was subsequently traded to the Western Bulldogs for the 2021 AFL season.[10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17]

She replaced injured captain, Natalie von Bertouch. This saw Ravaillion make her senior test debut before making her top level league debut. Her first game for Queensland Firebirds came two months after her test debut.[1][22][24][26][50][51] Ravaillion was subsequently a member of the Australia teams that won the gold medals at the 2014 Commonwealth Games and the 2015 Netball World Cup and the silver medal at the 2018 Commonwealth Games.[1][22]
