DUAL premiership star Anne Hatchard's latest record of 14 marks has locked the Crow into womens.afl's Team of the Week for round two.
Fellow record-setter Kerryn Harrington (23 disposals at 100 per cent efficiency) joins Hatchard, lining up in defence, while Ash Woodland's second four-goal haul made her a certainty for the forward line.
The team is selected to mirror the All-Australian side: five defenders, six midfielders (including a ruck), five forwards and five interchange players.
2022 FIXTURE Every match, every round
Like the All-Australian team, it has players selected in general categories, rather than in traditional positions. The 16-a-side set-up often means teams play with varying configurations, making set selections (e.g wings and flanks) difficult.
DEFENDERS
Libby Birch (Melbourne), Lauren Butler (Collingwood), Kerryn Harrington (Carlton), Maddy McMahon (Geelong), Belinda Smith (West Coast)
Harrington broke her own disposal efficiency record, with every single one of her 23 touches hitting the mark. At the other end of the ground, Maddy McMahon (10 intercepts) rediscovered her best form.

The strong form of Birch (14 touches, eight intercepts) continued, Butler (13 and seven) caught the eye of the coaches, while Smith (16 and 12) was a shining light for the Eagles.
MIDFIELDERS
Breann Moody (Carlton, ruck), Britt Bonnici (Collingwood), Monique Conti (Richmond), Anne Hatchard (Adelaide), Hayley Miller (Fremantle), Charlie Rowbottom (Gold Coast)
Moody (22 hitouts, 12 disposals, 254m gained) took full advantage of an inexperienced Cats ruck division.
DREAM STREAM How to catch every AFLW match in 2022
Hatchard (29 disposals, 17 contested) set a record for the most marks in a game with 14, Bonnici (26, 10 tackles, six clearances) stood up well in Bri Davey's absence and Miller (19 and seven tackles) got the full 10 votes from the coaches.
The sparkling touch of Conti (25, eight clearances) was once again on show, while Rowbottom (17, 12 tackles, five clearances) demonstrated why she went at No.1 in last year's draft.
FORWARDS
Tara Bohanna (Gold Coast), Kate Hore (Melbourne), Gemma Houghton (Fremantle), Kate Surman (Gold Coast), Ashleigh Woodland (Adelaide)
Bohanna (three final-quarter goals) was the matchwinner for the Suns, while teammate Surman (two goals) was just as lively in attack.
AFLW GAMES AND COVID SAFETY All you need to know
Woodland's outstanding start to the year continued with another four-goal haul, Hore (14, two goals) continued to stake her claim as the premier small forward of the AFLW, while Houghton (two goals) was a constant threat in attack.
INTERCHANGE
Kiara Bowers (Fremantle), Alicia Eva (GWS), Katie Brennan (Richmond), Maddy Prespakis (Carlton), Sarah Verrier (Fremantle)
In a hotly contested field, the final three midfield positions are taken by Bowers (15 disposals, 12 tackles, nine clearances), Eva (26 disposals, eight clearances) and Prespakis (29 disposals, 373m gained).
GET YOUR TICKETS Why you must secure your seat in advance
Tigers skipper Brennan (nine disposals, two goals) takes the final forward role, while young Docker Verrier's ball-reading skills (seven intercepts and six marks) locks away the last defensive spot.
