We’re going to suggest she would’ve preferred to win the game; but Anne Hatchard certainly did her part to make that happen.

The Adelaide star was absolutely everywhere in Saturday evening’s shock loss to Brisbane, finishing with 34 disposals.

In the process Hatchard claimed the AFLW disposals record, surpassing teammate Ebony Marinoff’s 33 disposals from last season.

Round 18

But Hatchard’s total is even more impressive when you compare it to the AFL record - Tom Mitchell’s 54.

Disregarding the level of competition, Hatchard recorded touches at a faster rate than Mitchell. On that day in 2018 the Hawk had 0.47 disposals a minute; Hatchard had 0.52 a minute.

You could even argue Hatchard racked them up at 0.59 disposals a minute, given she didn’t have any touches for the final eight minutes of the match.

Of course, as Adelaide premiership coach Bec Goddard said on commentary, stats like this aren’t so impressive when your team doesn’t win.

“They’re a bit like budgie smugglers. They show a lot, but not everything,” she said on Fox Footy.

...yeah, what she said.
