AFL Women's career

Hatchard was drafted by Adelaide with their eleventh selection and eighty-seventh overall in the 2016 AFL Women's draft.[1] She made her debut in the thirty-six point win against Greater Western Sydney at Thebarton Oval in the opening round of the 2017 season.[2] She missed the round four match against Fremantle at Fremantle Oval when she was omitted from the side.[3] She returned the next week for the three point loss to Brisbane at Norwood Oval.[4] She was a part of Adelaide's premiership side which defeated Brisbane by six points at Metricon Stadium in the AFL Women's Grand Final.[5][6] She missed one match during the season to finish with seven matches in her debut season.[7]

Adelaide signed Hatchard for the 2018 season during the trade period in May 2017.[8] She received a nomination for the Rising Star award in Adelaide's round 7 loss to Collingwood.[9]

Hatchard enjoyed a breakout year in 2019, showing an increased ability to compete in the midfield largely as a result of improved fitness. She attributed this development to a change in diet, specifically cutting down on fast food.[10] Overcoming concussion concerns ahead of a thumping 66-point preliminary final victory against Geelong,[11][12] she went on to play all nine games culminating in a second premiership with the Crows in three years. Gathering 24 disposals and kicking one goal on the day, Hatchard was recognised as a key performer in her club's 45-point grand final triumph over Carlton, placing second with just one vote less than team mate Erin Phillips in the award for best on ground.[13][14] Her season was punctuated with a maiden All-Australian selection[15] and a re-commitment to Adelaide by signing a two-year contract during the trade period.[16]
