FORMER Port Macquarie player Cambridge McCormick has earned her maiden All-Australian blazer.
The selection in the 2025 team has capped off a stellar season for the 26 year-old.
The GWS GIANTS defender has enjoyed a career-best season that saw her recognised for her efforts in the final team at the W Awards in Melbourne last night.
It marks McCormick’s first selection into the All-Australian team following a league-leading season in defence.
McCormick averaged 16.6 disposals, 2.9 marks, 1.0 intercept marks, 2.8 spoils and 2.4 rebound 50s per game and led all key defenders across the entire competition for inside 50s, tackles and disposals, while also finishing second in her position for meters gained.

Emerging this year as one of the league’s best key defenders, owing to her athleticism and versatility, McCormick has been lauded for her ability to both lockdown forwards, as with her round nine performance on Saints’ star Jesse Wardlaw, as well as bring a critical weapon in transition as a rebounding defender.
Earlier in the season McCormick was recognised for being a pioneer of the AFL North Coast women’s competition where she won the League Best & Fairest and Best Player in the Grand Final awards in both of the first two seasons that the women’s competition was played in the region.
The Women’s Best & Fairest Award is now known as the Cambridge McCormick Medal.
