Chelsea Biddell (born 15 July 1998) is an Australian rules footballer who plays for Adelaide in the AFL Women's (AFLW).[1]

Early life

Biddell grew up in Adelaide, Australia and was schoolmates with future Crows teammate Rachelle Martin. She didn't play football until the age of 18 when she had a trial session at West Adelaide.[2]

AFL Women's career

Drafted from West Adelaide in the 2019 draft,[1] Biddell was a key forward in her youth. She was moved from the forward line into defence in 2022 and became a part of Adelaide's premiership-winning backline that year. The following season, Biddell earned her first All-Australian selection.

Biddell played her 50th game in the round two win against Fremantle in 2024.[3] Following a third consecutive preliminary-final exit for Adelaide, Biddell was named in her third All-Australian team alongside three teammates.[4]
