Crows duo Ebony Marinoff and Niamh Kelly have been named in the 2025 AFLW All-Australian extended squad.
The 42-player squad was announced on Thursday afternoon
Marinoff, who is in her second campaign as Crows Co-Captain, has enjoyed another stellar season, averaging 27.8 disposals, 12.6 contested possessions, 4.3 clearances and 11.3 tackles across 12 games.
The 27-year-old inaugural Crow also became the first player in AFLW history to record 1000 career tackles during the Round 12 clash against Fremantle last weekend.
Marinoff is vying for her eighth blazer, having made the final cut in 2017, 2019, 2021, 2022 (season six), 2022 (season seven), 2023 and 2024.
Kelly, meanwhile, has been a consistent cog on the wing for the Crows, averaging 15.4 possessions, 9.2 uncontested possessions, 329.4 metres gained and 2.8 tackles across 11 games.
The 30-year-old only missed one of the 12 minor round matches this season, having entered the concussion protocols ahead of the Crows’ match against Fremantle.
Kelly is eyeing a second All-Australian selection, having been named in the final team in 2023.
The final team of 21, which includes a captain and a vice-captain and selected as if playing in a match, will be announced at the W Awards on Monday, November 24.
