TWO RECORD-BREAKERS lead the final womens.afl Team of the Week for the season.

North Melbourne's Ash Riddell smashed the disposal record (42, up from 35) held by herself, Ebony Marinoff and Anne Hatchard, while GWS ruck Erin McKinnon demolished her own hitouts record (47, up from 39).

The team is selected to mirror the All-Australian side: five defenders, six midfielders (including a ruck), five forwards and five interchange players.  

Like the All-Australian team, it has players selected in general categories, rather than in traditional positions. The 16-a-side set-up often means teams play with varying configurations, making set selections (e.g wings and flanks) difficult.
