Four Adelaide players have been named in the AFLW’s All Australian squad for Season Seven.
Young defender Chelsea Biddell has been selected in the extended squad of 44 for the first time, following an impressive fourth season at West Lakes.
Across 11 games, Biddell averaged career bests in disposals (13), marks (2.8) and rebound 50s (5.8).
Midfield dynamos Ebony Marinoff and Anne Hatchard have again been named thanks to impressive numbers en route to Adelaide’s third place finish.
Marinoff has been selected in every All Australian squad since the competition's inception and has made the final side four out of a possible six times.
Adelaide’s No.10 averaged a career-best 25.6 disposals per match, along with 9.5 tackles and 5.1 clearances.
Partner in crime Hatchard has been named in the squad for a fifth time with hopes of a fourth All Australian berth.
After being crowned Club Champion in Season Six, Hatchard has continued her impressive form with 23.5 touches, 5.5 tackles and 4.5 clearances per game.
Rounding out Adelaide’s inclusions is the skipper, Chelsea Randall.
The three-time Premiership captain won the inaugural AFLW Showdown medal in Round Six at Adelaide Oval.
Randall has notched career-best numbers this season in both disposals (17.8) and clearances (3.7).
The 2022 Season Seven AFLW All Australian selection panel consists of Nicole Livingstone (Chair), Sarah Black, Sam Virgo, Andrew Dillon, Laura Kane, Kelli Underwood, Megan Waters, Narelle Smith and Tim Harrington.
Final team will be announced at The W Awards on Tuesday 22 November.
