AFLW Erin Phillips is home!

[CrowdedHouse]

Did she not sign a contract?

Can't yet - we're in the same boat, thus been saying "committed to signing with..."

Reason is the AFL and AFLPA still haven't agreed on the new CBA yet.

We should be chasing Eloise Jones. Was a Port supporter in High School I know. Be tough after winning a flag though to shake any loose. Her Mum works nearby me, might hit her up!

 

[Enviable Tradition]

I hope someone has tagged Caro on the Crows salty response.

It's so embarrassing for them and I know
she won't miss an opportunity to have a crack.

Welcome home Erin - I hope you kick the winning goal in the first AFLW Showdown.

As long as she doesn't strangle an umpire the week before...

Let the poor dears vent, saves a lot of ambulance ramping from violent assaults with knitting needles.

I hear there's been a spate of choking related incidents involving apricot slices.

 

[Jojay]

The crows supporters that I know and have some smidgen of an interest believe that we are getting an Erin way past her prime and was hardly a feature in their wins this year. They might be right.

That's not what this is about. Everyone knows Erin is past her prime.

This is about the symbolism of the marquee player of the whole comp COMING HOME.

 

[Doctor Feel]

Erin is basically finished, but this just says that her heart was always PAFC.

Don't forget to ask about her daughter.

Ask what?

Congrats to you guys. Erin is a superstar and I suspect her biggest contribution to your club will not be what she does on the field, but the standards she sets off-field for the next generation of footballing women. If you can convince her to remain on in a coaching capacity once her playing days are over you will have done very well.

Also just want to say, massive respect to Greg Phillips, as big a Port legend as there could possibly be, who nonetheless happily pulled on a Crows jumper and supported his daughter in the stands from day one. That whole family is as classy as they come. It feels right that he will get to see his daughter be the among the first women to pull on the Port guernsey and do battle on the oval where he dominated for so many years.

Thanks.
Classy post.
And yes, it is a bit of an emotional moment for us guys, given Kutchie's background at Port.
Let's hope it's a portent (no pun intended) of good things to come.

D-ROD! Happy about Erin

It matters not. She'll bring in the crowds, make us a destination club for players and sell a pile of #22 guernseys. Including one to me .

I am thinking of opening a Whine Bar called The Salty Crow?

... at the first opportunity

 

[shewho]

She’s the best player on our list. We need to stop being a one (wo)man team.

Not only is her passion for Port palpable, the words she chose to express that are spot on. Congrats and welcome home.

Establish it halfway between the Advertiser and Channel 7 and you are on a winner.

 

[ClintEastwood]

Woot! Heartwarming news. Might be time to start taking an interest in AFLW

 

[Launchpad McQuack]

Wearing 22? We have someone else locked in as captain?

Surely Erin will be in a few of their ears over there and convince a couple to make the switch.

That gets a mention in this piece:

AFLW star Phillips leaves Crows for Port

Erin Phillips, the AFLW's most decorated player, has confirmed she is leaving Adelaide to join Port Adelaide.

[PAFC Since 1870]

Do you know if that's available to listen to?

Not sure but I heard her on Mix 102.3 this morning

 

[Us against the rest]

Best news in our club for a long long time.

 

[Pappagallo]

LOL .. The Crows started it. Such poor losers.

Haha more salt than the Bolivian Altiplano.

Welcome home Erin!

 

[bomberclifford]

The Crows couldn't have played that any more in our favour if they tried.

This is PR that cannot be bought.

If the club is serious about the Prison Bars, then they need to link in some mention of that guernsey with all this feel-good, positive reference to our history.
