Barnett played for Old Trinity from 2017–2019 and then joined Collingwood's VFL Women's (VFLW) team, where she moved into a key forward role. In the 2021 VFL Women's season, she was the VFLW's leading goalkicker, kicking 20 goals from 13 regular season matches and also won the club's best and fairest award.

At the end of the season, in December 2024, she signed a two-year contract extension with Collingwood, committing to the club until at least the end of the 2026 season.
In December 2025, following a consistent and career-best season, in which she averaged 11.4 disposals a game, Barnett extended her contract by another year until at least the end of the 2027 season.
