She'd be worth a fist and second round pick. PA gave them up.
Maybe when they enter a women's team.

champagne humour. Isn't it ironic that Crows have won 3 premierships now and in every GF the BOG player was developed by Port.Re: AFLW - Womens AFL

Who claims pre season cups as premierships? Oh yeah, that'd be Crows (and South Adelaide)
Re: AFLW - Womens AFL

Surely it's more important than the WNBA?
Good to see a North player get rated the best in the comp.

North have always had great individuals, it's just the team bit they struggle with

The mighty AFC only football club in history to have AFL & AFLW Premierships
Greg Phillips sure looked happy in his Crows polo
We're the pride of South Australia...

Posted: Mon Mar 27, 2017 8:12 amAll credit to the victorious Crows girls, but this is probably a bit premature, and smacks of political opportunism by Leon BIgnell.
Apparently Max Basheer's name comes off an Adelaide Oval grandstand in place of Chelsea Randall and Erin Phillips.
IMO, it's quite ironic that Leon Bignell criticizes Max Basheer's contribution to sport based on a lack of games played, yet he's a sports minister with absolutely no sporting background of note.
Stick to what you're good a, Biggles - spending other people's money on overseas junkets.

Name Adelaide Oval grandstands after AFLW Crows co-captains, says Sport Minister Leon Bignell
THE inaugural AFLW Crows premiership co-captains should have their names adorned on an Adelaide Oval grandstand, the Tourism Minister says.
In a social media post that triggered heated online debate, Leon Bignell called for Chelsea Randall and Erin Phillips to be permanently inscribed around the $535 million CBD ground.
Randall, 25, and Phillips, 31, on Saturday led the Adelaide Football Club’s maiden female team to the AFLW’s first premiership over Brisbane on the Gold Coast.
Less than half a year since the first Crows’ team was cobbled together at West Lakes and Darwin, the South Australian-NT combine defied early calls it would be an easybeat.

In a Facebook message posted within minutes of Saturday’s result, Mr Bignell wrote: “How about we finally put women’s names on the Adelaide Oval grandstands.
“Erin Phillips and Chelsea Randall co-captains of the first team to win a premiership in the AFL Women’s League. Congratulations to the Adelaide Crows. You inspired and excited an entire state in this inaugural season.
“Well done team. Today was an absolute thriller. Enjoy the celebrations. #historymakers #watchthewomen.”
He added that he had “made a concerted effort to have all women recognised”.
The post, supported by almost 400 people, triggered a lengthy debate among users, including those who questioned the timing.
In response to one claim that the women’s team had played a handful of games, Mr Bignell replied: “Max Basheer: Zero games and a grandstand named after him.”
He was referring to the SANFL’s longest-serving president and Australian football Hall of Fame inductee, who headed the state league between 1978 and 2003.
He later insisted he was not “bagging” lawyer, Mr Basheer, 89.
He added: “Women haven’t been given a look in because the people who make the decisions at Adelaide Oval are all men. They all looked after themselves when they named the stands, the bars the rooms. It’s 2017, let’s not put this off any longer.”
