Watch some of the best highlights from captain Kerryn Harrington as we celebrate her 2022 All-Australian selection.

The Blues’ skipper previously received All-Australian honours in 2019 and 2020 as she elevated herself to one of the elite defenders in the competition, and the 30-year-old only improved her skills this year. 

Her season-best performance came in Round 2 where she recorded a career-high 23 disposals at 100 per cent efficiency against the Cats, breaking her own record which was previously set in 2020. 

Harrington rounded off a stellar campaign with career-high totals for disposals (143), kicks (97) and marks (35) and her impact was felt right around the ground.
