AFLW career After missing the inaugural AFLW season with an anterior cruciate ligament injury, Zanchetta was recruited by Brisbane with its first pick (seventh overall) of the 2017 AFL Women's draft. She was described as "the most talented player not to appear in the first instalment of AFLW". Zanchetta made her debut in the Lions' game against Adelaide at Norwood Oval in the opening round of the 2018 season. Zanchetta played five games for the Brisbane in 2018 and six in 2019, scoring her first goal in Brisbane's win over the Western Bulldogs at Whitten Oval in Round 4, but was not selected again until Round 2 of the 2021 season. In June 2021, she was delisted by Brisbane.

In May 2022, Zanchetta signed with AFL Women's expansion club Essendon for their inaugural season, after playing for their VFLW side. At the end of the season, she was delisted after playing three games.

Prior to the first AFLW competition in 2017, Zanchetta was selected by the Western Bulldogs to play in the Hampson–Hardeman Cup exhibition matches against Melbourne.
