[11] Marinoff was a member of the Adelaide team that won the inaugural AFL Women's premiership in 2017, defeating Brisbane by six points at Metricon Stadium.

[15] After an impressive start to the 2018 season, in round 4, Marinoff set a new record for tackles with 21 in her side's draw against Greater Western Sydney in heavy rain at Blacktown ISP Oval,[16] breaking the record of 16 set by Carlton midfielder Sarah Hosking two weeks earlier.
