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.{{Cite web|url=http://womens.afl/news/16820/ditching-fast-food-the-secret-to-crow-s-incredible-rise|title=Ditching fast food the secret to Crow's incredible rise|website=AFLW|language=en|access-date=2019-05-20}} Overcoming concussion concerns ahead of a thumping 66-point preliminary final victory against Geelong,{{Cite web|url=https://www.theaustralian.com.au/sport/afl/aflw-crows-onballer-anne-hatchard-cleared-to-face-geelong/news-story/39684cf55ce71e445a562bd3e9d6a66c|title=Crows onballer Anne Hatchard cleared to face Geelong|website=www.theaustralian.com.au|access-date=2019-05-20}}{{Cite web|url=http://womens.afl/match-centre/2019/95/adel-v-geel|title=2019 AFL Women's Match Centre: ADEL v GEEL|website=AFLW|language=en|access-date=2019-05-20}} she went on to play all nine games culminating in a second premiership with the Crows in three years.
