The Launceston Football Club premiership player has played 93 matches in red and black since being selected with pick eight in the 2007 pre-season draft.
Bellchambers, 28, joined former and fellow teammates Patrick Ryder, Angus Monfries, Heath Hocking, Cale Hooker and David Zaharakis as inductees onto the honour roll.
Bellchambers has often been plagued by serious ankle and foot injuries, and was one of 34 Bombers banned following the club’s infamous supplement program in 2012.
The 201-centimetre big man won a flag and the Wilfred Barker Memorial Medal for best on ground in the Blues’ Northern Tasmanian Football League grand final victory over Ulverstone in the same year he was drafted and he has booted 63 career AFL goals in 10 seasons.
