Vice-captain Belle Dawes is joined by first time members, Jade Ellenger, Courtney Hodder and Jennifer Dunne.

For Dawes it is her second nomination in consecutive seasons, joining an illustrious group of Lions as two-time squad members.

The 2024 All-Australian, has enjoyed another strong year averaging 19 disposals, five tackles and four clearances to stake her claim as one of the league’s premier midfielders.

The trio of Ellenger, Hodder and Dunne have been rewarded following career best seasons.

Playing predominately off half-back, Ellenger has mixed attack with defence to become a weapon for Craig Starcevich out of defensive 50.

Averaging 16 touches and four marks, the 25-year-old has played a key role in the Lions back five.

Hodder has been revelation in 2025, splitting her time between the forward line and midfield providing spark and dash.

Career highs in disposals, tackles and goals have seen the former goal and mark of the year winner remain a key cog in the Lions forward half.

Key defender, Dunne, who made the transition from Gaelic Football in 2023 has quickly become one of the best one-on-one defenders in the competition.

Averaging 11 disposals, four marks and four spoils per game, often taking the oppositions tallest key forward.

The final All-Australian team will be named on Monday, November 25 at the W Awards.
