L-R: Tyla Hanks (Cora Lynn / Beaconsfield), Kate Hore (Beaumaris / St Kilda Sharks), Jas Garner (Yarraville Seddon) and Maeve Chaplin (West Preston-Lakeside / Darebin).
On Monday night the AFL announced the 2025 AFLW All Australian team, with eight of the 21 players named growing up playing local footy in Victoria.
North Melbourne's Jasmine Garner, who grew up playing local footy for Yarraville in Melbourne's inner-west, was recognised as captain for the third time, with her eighth blazer equally teammate Emma Kearney's record.
Melbourne's Kate Hore (Beaumaris/St Kilda Sharks) has been named vice-captain.
Garner joins Ash Riddell, Ella Roberts and Mim Strom as the only players to have retained their spot on the team from last year, with the majority of the 2025 side selected for the first time.
It's the highest number of fresh faces since the inaugural 21-player squad in 2017, with the significant turnover marking a changing of the guard in the 10th season of AFLW.
Dees midfielder Tyla Hanks finally makes the team having spent 2021, 2022 (S6) and 2023 in the extended squad, while Blues veteran Harriet Cordner has earned her maiden blazer at the age of 33.
