Collingwood defender Tarni White has been named in the 2025 AFLW All-Australian Squad, earning the honour for the first time.  

The selection caps off an outstanding season for White where she continued to build off her impressive form.

The young Pie excelled in the backline this season, averaging 18.6 disposals, 8.3 intercept possessions, notching up to 46 tackles and led the side with 59 rebound 50s.  

Continuing to grow in 2025, White had a standout performance against the currently undefeated North Melbourne, seeing her finish with a career-high 27 disposals and 13 intercept possessions against a top side.

Collingwood’s Executive General Manager of Women’s Football Jess Burger congratulated White on the achievement.  

“We’re thrilled for Tarni to receive her first selection in the All-Australian squad, an incredible achievement and a well-deserved recognition of the season she’s had,” Burger said.

“Week after week she has continued to elevate her game, and just as much as her football, it’s the person she is off the field that makes her so respected.

“Tarni’s best football is still ahead of her, and we’re excited to be a part of that journey as she continues to grow and make her mark in 2026.”

The 2025 AFLW All-Australian team will be announced at this year's W Awards on Monday, November 24th.
