Representative football

[edit | edit source]

Chiocci is a three-time senior All-Australian, winning the honours in consecutive AFL Women's National Championships in 2009, 2011 and 2013.[7][6] In 2010, Chiocci was one of forty players to participate in the women's AFL high-performance camp. As part of the program, she played in a curtain-raiser exhibition match ahead of the round 12, 2010 AFL match between Melbourne and Collingwood.[8]

Chiocci was selected by the Western Bulldogs with the club's first selection and number two overall in the 2013 women's AFL exhibition game draft.[9] She later played in the first women's exhibition match in June 2013. She was retained by the club and played in exhibition matches in each year through to the end of 2016.[10] She captained the side in 2015 and 2016 including in the women's all-star match in September 2016.[11][12]

Chiocci participated in AFL Victoria's female academy in 2015 and 2016, a program intending to lift the performances of some of the state's best female footballers.[13][14]

Chiocci was drafted by Collingwood with the club's second selection and eleventh overall in the 2016 AFL Women's draft.[4] She was named the club's inaugural AFL Women's captain in January 2017.[1][15] Chiocci played in all seven games of the 2017 season.

In May 2017, Collingwood signed her for the 2018 season.[16] She played in the first five matches of the season, before she was suspended for making forceful head-high contact with Western Bulldogs defender Libby Birch in round 5. She was suspended for two matches, ending her season after playing five matches.[17] In May 2018, Chiocci was re-signed by Collingwood for the 2019 season.[18][19]

Collingwood signed Chiocci for the 2020 season during the trade and sign period in April 2019.[20]

In December 2020, it was announced that Chiocci would captain Collingwood for a fifth consecutive season in 2021, and that vice-captain and former Carlton captain Brianna Davey would join her as co-captain.[21][22]

After playing in the opening round of the 2022 season, Chiocci was a late withdrawal from Collingwood's win over St Kilda with an Achilles injury,[23] before returning in round 4 against Fremantle.[24] She was left out again in round 6 to manage the same injury,[25] before returning in round 8 against the Western Bulldogs.[26]
