After rupturing her anterior cruciate ligament, she underwent a knee construction in 2015. This surgery and advice from the surgeon prompted her to give up athletics and focus on football.

In April 2019, Stratton re-committed to Collingwood for the 2020 season, along with Jordyn Allen, Emma Grant, and Sharni Layton. In April 2021, Stratton was delisted by Collingwood. Following her delisting, she re-joined Box Hill Hawks. She was drafted to Hawthorn with pick 18 in the 2023 AFL Women's supplementary draft.
