A mature-age signing to Carlton in the 2023 AFLW Supplementary Draft, Marianna Anthony got the chance she deserved when she arrived at IKON Park with pick No.19. Anthony made an instant impact at the Blues, playing the first four games of the season in the midfield before experiencing a knee injury. Returning in Round 9 for the remaining two games, Anthony once again showed her class with the ball in hand and by foot, making her a handy player to have in traffic.

At the end of the 2024 season, the Blues have made two changes to their AFLW list, delistiing Marianna Anthony and Tahlia Read. Anthony played 14 games for the Blues during her two seasons at the club.
